Leasys provides contract hire services for retail, SME and large corporate client customers, covering the Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fiat Professional Jeep, Abarth and Maserati brands. The firm has been active in the UK market for more than 15 years and has worked with Manheim for the last 10.

The latest contract extension will see the two companies continue working together on a national sales programme until at least 2021 and means more than 10,000 vehicles will continue to pass through Manheim’s auction centres including Bruntingthorpe, Manchester and Bristol, and via Manheim Online.

Roberto Bellavia, head of Leasys UK, said: “It is a pleasure to extend our contract with Manheim, and reinforce the partnership.”

Martin Forbes, CEO of Cox Automotive UK, added: “Our team have worked hard to deliver a strong performance over the past 10 years for Leasys and we are delighted that they are continuing their partnership with us.

“With our complete range of solutions, we are able to connect the right vendors with the right buyers in the right channels and help them to do business with greater confidence. We look forward to further developing our relationship with Leasys and help them achieve even greater success.”
