Working in sales for over ten years, Phelan has represented Nestle, Schwarzkopf, Asics and most recently Grenke Leasing as a direct sales and regional account manager.

Tower provides finance directly via their own book facility and has longstanding relationships and access to a large panel of lenders for leasing, for assets such as IT, office equipment & furniture, telecoms, vending, security, electronic point of sale equipment, catering and other equipment.

The British Business Bank (BBB) created a £25.5m (€28.6m) credit facility for Tower Leasing in January. 

At the time the lessor said the funding would enable it to extend additional asset finance packages to a diversified smaller businesses base.
