Could Leasing With Friends Be The Future of Private Car Ownership?

07 March 2016

Raising money, grabbing a lift to work, updating your wardrobe, even finding a home for your pet while you're away; you don’t have to look far to find a service that’s part of the ever growing sharing economy. Consumers are going crazy for the peer-to-peer model which is allowing anyone who has some value to offer to enter the marketplace and earn a little extra cash, or simply help someone else out. From an ecological standpoint the benefits are clear. Huge quantities of new stuff has been kept off the shelfs due to the effective cycling and use of... Read full article

When Will You Have Your Self-Driving Company Car Fleet?

01 March 2016

We’ve seen them in the movies, from ‘KITT’ the star of Knight Rider to the unfortunate ‘Johnny cabs’ in Total Recall, but when will we see them on our streets? And more specifically, when will they be a reality for everyday use in our companies? It’s believed that self-driving cars offer a wealth of benefits to road users—including cyclists and pedestrians. As human error is the single biggest risk in driving, they’re expected to bring a dramatic increase in safety and a significant reduction in accidents. In one... Read full article

The Future of Car Leasing: Hydrogen Powered Vehicles

22 February 2016

We’ve used hydrogen to power vehicles into the sky above, and now the fuel source is coming to help us move around the earth too. Well, the price you’ll pay for it will still be astronomical, but the technology has well and truly made it into the mainstream. You’ll soon be able to nip to your local Honda dealer and—at least if live in the US—pick up a hydrogen powered Honda Clarity for a mere $60,000. You do have to live in California, and you can’t legally drive it outside of the state, and don't forget you may need to be... Read full article

The Top 3 Benefits of Leasing Over Buying an Electric Car

12 February 2016

The real figure is much larger. And with the recent £40 million fund awarded to Nottingham, Bristol, Milton Keynes, and London to help drive the ‘green car revolution’, thousands more are expected to take to the roads. The fund will be spent on charging infrastructure, improving public knowledge, parking, and other schemes particular to each of the four cities. All this means it’s a great time to be an EV driver. But wait a minute, don’t rush out and buy one just yet. Although there are thousands of happy EV drivers, the majority of... Read full article

How Britain’s ‘White Van Man’ is Staging a Come Back in 2016

08 February 2016

From Ford’s iconic promotion which defined their huge white Transit vans as the backbone of Britain, to the rise of the internet shopping era and the surge in demand for transportation, the white van man—or ‘man with a van’—has been a part of Britain’s history for decades and is set to become a defining part of its future too. We all know the stereotypical white van man, characterised by a rough and ready approach and the tendency to run around doing odd jobs. But with consumer trends leaning towards purchasing everything from... Read full article

Why Lease (Not Buy) Your Company Car Fleet with Contract Hire

01 February 2016

We crave owning things of our own. From teens chomping at the bit for their parents to buy them their first car, to adults counting down the days until they’ve paid off their mortgages, it’s a great feeling when something finally becomes yours. And companies are much the same - in fact, they're even more guilty. After all, what exemplifies success more than having your own assets? The thing is though, people and companies alike are starting to realise that you don’t have to invest in fixed assets to be and appear successful. Owning... Read full article

The Quick Guide to Choosing The Right Vehicles For Your Fleet

08 January 2016

So it goes without saying they need to be reliable, economical, and above all, fit for purpose. It’s strange then—but not unsurprising—to see many organisations base their decisions according to superficial factors like make, model, and lease cost. This behaviour is known to lead to problems related to unsuitability and maintenance issues further down the line, or even early terminations or disputes around the lease agreement. To make sure you avoid any of this hassle and find the right vehicles first time around, there are a few... Read full article

On Tuesday night, at the annual FN50 dinner, Peter Cakebread was inaugurated into the FN50 Hall of Fame. This was, of course, about recognising the man, but it is also about recognition of the brand. Coincidentally, Peter has been with Marshall for almost 25 years, and alongside his inauguration it was announced that Marshall Leasing has hit 25 in the Fleet News top 50 leasing companies in order of size. Twenty five years is a long time on anyone’s loyalty card, and Peter has not made this journey alone. Alongside him are fellow directors and... Read full article

Are You Playing by the Rules?

25 July 2012

Here’s a question for you: what happens when following the rules means compromising your values? No doubt you’re wondering why we even ask. Well, as the first official post on our blog we wanted to start right at the beginning, and for us that means starting with the values that drive our business. We’ve been very lucky in many ways. As a company, we’re part of a wider Group that also believes strong values should be at the heart of any good business. The Marshall Group’s most recent Values Booklet published earlier this year...
