Arnold Clark Finance voted UK's Best Leasing Company

Following their impressive performance in the 2005 Sewells Contract Hire and Leasing Survey, Arnold Clark Finance have gone one better in 2006 and scooped the top spot, having been voted the UK's Best Leasing Company.

The report is compiled by Sewells International, an independent research organisation highly regarded within the fleet community. Their research, based on customer surveys conducted with companies and public sector bodies throughout the UK, scores the UK's top 18 companies across a broad range of disciplines, covered by over 100 questions.

Arnold Clark Finance's Managing Director, Hugh Wallace commented "This just goes to show that size isn't everything! We may not be the biggest contract hire company in the UK, but it's nice to think that our customers voted us the best. Make no mistake, there are other awards given out in the industry, but this is the only one that matters, because it is awarded by customers. It's a recognition that we do our job very well indeed. However, we won't stand still, we have several ongoing projects that we hope will raise service levels even higher, so I am very confident for the future".

Towquest CEO Tony Bolwell said "We are almost as delighted as Hugh and his team. We've worked with these guys for so long, it's like being a part of the family and it's simply great to see them pick up this award. I hope we've made some small contribution to ACF's success and look forward to working with them on more innovative projects over the coming months. I can only re-iterate Hugh's comments - biggest isn't always best, and that goes for software companies too!"
