Being independent enables us to offer a more personal service to clients within the mid-size fleet sector.

We have come from nowhere to establish ourselves as a national top FN50 contract hire - fleet management company with the strongest customer retention levels and clients whose own prominence within their individual industry sectors is both respected and envied.

It was not foresight or for that matter a realisation that the banks had it slightly wrong that set the fledgling Marshall Leasing on the road to success. In reality when the management team sat down to create Marshall Leasing, as a privately owned independent in 1990, they had no idea that what they thought the clients they were out to attract wanted would be so at odds with what the emerging industry giants were to offer.

But as it turns out these very same banks are now keen to describe a client relationship in terms which suggest personal attention, dedicated account managers, regular meetings, direct line communication, flexibility, and transparency.

The very fundamentals that Marshall Leasing has been promoting from day one.
