One of our newest clients in 2022 is Jim Parry, a well-known face within London’s vibrant entertainment industry. As a busy financial professional, Jim was new to the world of personal vehicle leasing and sought support in navigating the process. With clear thoughts on the style of vehicle he was looking for, Jim was open to considering various models within his decision-making process and had some brands in mind from the outset.
We matched Jim with Zara in our Key Account Management team – an expert in both electric and hybrid models, and very experienced in supporting new clients throughout their journey with us.
Jim was aware of ongoing stock delays across the automotive industry, and our team kept him regularly updated until delivery took place. From an initial enquiry in July 2021, Jim took receipt of his new Volvo XC90 in early January 2022 – a good reminder to start the process early if you’re looking to acquire a new vehicle in the next 6-12 months. A hybrid car is a great option for city-centre driving, allowing you to reduce running costs while considering a move to being fully electric in the future.
“P+B have been a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Zara made the procurement process very slick and easy and she has kept me fully up to speed throughout, at no point making any promises that couldn’t be delivered. I knew the car wouldn’t arrive overnight given the market and the difficulty manufacturers are facing. Zara was in contact every few weeks with an update.
In fact, even when I ordered it, back in the summer, Zara had warned that it might be as long as January by the time it gets delivered. And indeed it was and now it has finally arrived, I love it. It was undoubtedly the correct choice. I will have no hesitation in using P+B next time around - they’re a class act.”
