Car Leasing Company

AUTO INCLUSIVE

is an accident management company. Explains Malcolm: “If someone has a non-fault accident we can take all of the hassle out of what can be a very stressful situation.” “We give the client a “like for like” vehicle, organise the repair of their damaged vehicle and make all the arrangements for their accident and/or injury claim from start to finish. The aim is to make the whole journey as smooth as possible. All a client has to do is give us a call and we take care of the rest …”

CORPORATE FLEET CARE

is the contract hire and leasing side of the business. It incorporates car and van contract hire from 12 months to five years, as well as arranging finance, lease arrangements, hire purchase and personal contract purchase from as little as £3.50 a day. No matter what car you’re looking for CFC can find the right deal at competitive rates. “We have great contracts with most manufacturers – so whether you want a Fiat Punto or a Porsche we can find the right car.” With customer service firmly at the top of the agenda, CFC have developed a reputation for taking as much care of individual clients as they do with major corporate clients across the UK. Major clients include: Cable and Wireless, Tie Rack, Manchester based Searchlight, ADR Accident Repair Centres, First 24 Hour Rentals, Alan White Motors, DAMS International, JWT Specialized Communications, BIM UK Limited, Roberts UK and Rothwell Plumbing. These big names sit alongside smaller local businesses and individual customers and all enjoy the quality customer service they have come to expect from CFC. CFC Rentals fulfils a further niche – the short term rental market for individuals and businesses who need to rent a vehicle for between 1 and 28 days (although contracts can be negotiated for up to 12 months with flexible terms). CFC Finance is the newest part of the business and completes the line-up which enables CFC to provide an all-encompassing service. It is run by Malcolm and Bob, with fellow director Russell Whiting. The company has a showroom of vehicles to rival any dealership forecourt – with numerous makes and marques – from family runabouts to prestige vehicles. Explains Malcolm: “If a client wants to change their car we can sell their current vehicle and give them a wide choice of new cars to choose from. Here you’ll find competitively priced former contract hire and fleet hire vehicles as well as repossessions which are for sale. Leasing of these vehicles can also be arranged as well as finance arrangements for buyers in any circumstances.”

He became a director of CFC in 2003 and has overseen a gradual change in the focus of the business, moving from a dedicated contract hire business to include daily rental and more recently accident management. He says that each business type compliments the next and dovetail together to enable CFC to give an overall service he believes to be second to none.
