Nissan Forges Partnership with Leasedrive

Nissan GB has agreed a ten vehicle contract with Leasedrive Vehicle Management, the UK's largest privately owned vehicle management group.

The range of vehicles include the Nissan Almera SXE 2.2 dci 136bhp 6spd, the Nissan Primera 2.2dci SE, the Nissan Tino 2.2 dci SVE 136bhp 6sd and the X-TRAIL 2.2 dci SVE.

Leasedrive Group has recently been sold to a new management team which marks an increased investment in the business to mark the introduction of a new range of product and service innovations.

Staff at Leasedrive were keen to sample Nissan's offering following positive comments from recently appointed Commercial Director Roddy Graham. Nissan has worked with Leasedrive for several years under its old management structure and has also worked extensively with many members of the new team.

Jayne Draper, Operations Director, Leasedrive comments "Nissan has been chosen by our drivers because of the high level of vehicle specification and reliability combined with excellent after sales service and competitive prices. Our Commercial Director Roddy Graham was particularly impressed with the new Primera and X-TRAIL and his positive comments certainly influenced many of our drivers to switch to Nissan's product."

David Murfitt, Fleet Sales Director, Nissan said, "We are delighted to be working with Leasedrive having built up a strong partnership with the organisation over a number of years. We wish them every success for an exciting future."
