The business is the only top-10 vehicle leasing provider in the UK to subscribe to the course, and all 20 delegates will be certified for the next three years. Lex Autolease’s CV Specialists will be integrated into the business’s day-to-day account teams.

A rebrand in 2018 saw the Lex Autolease commercial vehicle internal helpdesks, engineers and supplier managers come together under the banner of ‘CV Specialist Teams’.

Split across its locations in the North West and the Midlands, the teams are placed to provide easy reach of customers nationwide in need of advanced LCV solutions.

Mark Grundy, strategic product & proposition manager for commercial vehicles at Lex Autolease, said: ““Any business that requires a van does so to support a specific job role. Without the van, the job cannot be completed, and the business will grind to a halt.
