A new ecommerce portal has been launched by fleet management and leasing company CBVC.

Features of Leasing Gorilla include a ‘cash or car’ calculator and access to a wide range of vehicles and vehicle funders, including manufacturers’ own schemes.

The service, available to both business and private drivers, is being headed by new CBVC recruit Chris Jennings (pictured), who spent the past six years with a major leasing brokerage following a career with the BMW dealer network.

He said: “I am delighted to join the team at CBVC and launch Leasing Gorilla, which targets the growing personal lease market.

“The sector is rapidly expanding given the government’s benefit in kind tax policy and a small rise of business fleets.”

CBVC managing director Mike Manners said: “We have been considering separating our CBVC Vehicle Management brand from our personal contract hire business for a while; this has crystallised with the recruitment of Chris and the birth of Leasing Gorilla. 

“The exceptional cash or car modelling software we have had developed makes sense of whether to take the cash or company car.

“The additional volumes will assist our overall purchasing power still further benefiting both personal users and even better rates for our existing business and fleet managed clients.”
