Lancashire-based fleet management company KeyFleet has announced it has achieved Key Associate status with Lex Autolease.

According to KeyFleet, the company has been appointed as a leasing agent but it was not before the appointment, whereas now it can “offer Lex’s range of products and services including lease contracts to our clients.”

Lex is the UK’s largest leasing company and is part of Lloyds Banking Group.

“Lex Autolease is the most recognisable brand in our industry and the pinnacle of vehicle leasing in the UK. It’s a great honour to be granted our new status,” said Marc McLoughlin, KeyFleet managing director.

Meanwhile, Lex signed an agreement with leading fuelcard supplier Allstar to expand the services offered to the leasing giant’s customers.

The companies have previously worked together with Allstar supplying its fuelcards to Lex’s customers.
