Alec Stewart Officially Opens New Leasedrive Group HQ

Alec Stewart OBE, England's most capped cricketer ever, has officially opened Leasedrive Group's new hi-tech offices at TRL in Wokingham, Berkshire.

At the official unveiling of the plaque, Alec Stewart observed: "I have known the new senior management team for the past year and been particularly impressed by how quickly they have developed the business since the management buyout in May, 2003. This is a winning organisation and I wish it a long and prosperous innings in its new home."

Roddy Graham, commercial director of the Leasedrive Group said: "We believe that through our major investment in these new headquarters, in our leading edge IT systems and in our own staff, our company is evolving into a leading fleet management company of choice among discerning fleet managers.

"These new headquarters have enabled us to bring together under one roof three separate operations - Leasedrive Vehicle Management, Countrywide Car and Van Rental and Stopgap Mid-Term Rental. Also, very importantly, we now have nearly twice as much floor space to comfortably accommodate our future expansion plans."
