Leaseplan’s specialist franchise division for small businesses Network will move from its current location in Wandsworth to the group’s headquarters in Slough demonstrating the “closer integration” of the Network brand.

According to Leaseplan, over the last three years, the Network brand has grown significantly and benefited from closer working with the support functions in the Slough office. These include handling a significant increase in business, growing the funded fleet, improving profitability and managing the brand through the credit crunch and recession.

It added that Network has “been delivering significant growth in recent years and is expected to exceed last year’s 10% growth of the funded fleet year on year”. LeasePlan UK expects to have transferred all functions to Slough by the end of March 2012.
