March 2026 | 13 Contact Details Contact: Neil Goodwin Company: Select Car Leasing Website: https://www.selectcarleasing.co.uk/ an ‘Excellent’ five-star rating on Trustpilot, based on more than 48,000 reviews. Mark adds: “Any review of three stars or under will land on my desk. I take it very personally when somebody hasn’t had a perfect experience from us. More often than not, the relationship has fallen down due to a third party that we often rely upon, but it’s then about assessing and managing those third parties, scrutinising service level agreements, and fine-tuning delivery. This level of customer service has been the focus for Select Car Leasing right from the outset.” “I’m confident we’ve got the best people in the industry working in this organisation.” Select’s meteoric rise hasn’t happened by chance. It began in 2004 with two people, a fax machine and a telephone. Select now boasts a 330-strong team of colleagues across 12 UK offices, with the firm’s HQ located in Reading, Berks. Mark adds: “People often ask me, how did we become so successful? There is no shortcut. You have to put in the graft to be successful. You have to sacrifice, you need to be passionate about what you want to achieve, and you need to have the belief, drive and vision to succeed. I think most entrepreneurs will recognise those traits. “And then it’s about having the right people in the business. I look at us today, and I’m confident we’ve got the best people in the industry working in this organisation. And we’re ever so proud of that. As well as looking after your customers in order to be successful, it’s vital that employees feel truly valued, because they absolutely are.” Giving back to the community Since 2021, Select has been Principal Partners of Reading Football Club, with the team playing home games at the Select Car Leasing Stadium and the players’ shirts emblazoned with the company logo. Yet Select’s reach into the community goes beyond that sponsorship. Charity, and giving something back, has always been a key facet of the Select culture and the firm has multiple partnerships with charitable organisations. For example, Select donates vehicles to local hospices and food banks, works with the Royal Berks Charity to fundraise for cancer research, has given away hundreds of Reading FC matchday tickets to young, grassroots football fans, and works in conjunction with the Reading FC Community Trust to support promote health, education, social inclusion and sports participation. In March this year, Select donated front-of-shirt Reading FC sponsorship to New Life Special Care Babies, a long-standing ally devoted to saving the lives of babies born too sick or too early and which donates specialist equipment to hospitals across the UK. Mark explains: “As soon as we were able to, we wanted to start supporting local charities. It started with a local Sue Ryder Hospice and we now also donate vehicles to St Michael’s Hospice in Basingstoke and Rowans Hospice in Portsmouth. “We donate a van to the local food bank, we donate a 7-seater vehicle to the Community Trust, and we also support national and local mental health charities including Beder and Number Five – among many other charity programmes. Giving back to the community is one of the most rewarding things we can do as a socially responsible business.” The way Select Car Leasing conducts itself, as a proud and trusted supplier of vehicles for leasing, is truly award-worthy.

Finally, we would like to extend our gratitude to Mark for his comments on Select Car Leasing’s services and we look forward to seeing the firm’s continued growth.
