About Us
Leasing.com is the largest dedicated marketplace in the UK for new car contract hire and leasing offers. Since
our introduction in 2000, we have become the go-to marketplace for car leasing deals.
We provide the widest choice of offers from franchised motor dealerships, independent brokers, motor
manufacturers and leasing companies, and our success has been built on putting you in touch with our advertising
partners who are
able to meet your needs. It’s as simple as that.
Leasing.com does not offer or arrange vehicle finance or provide any financial advice.
If you are interested in any of the offers promoted on our marketplace we can put you in touch with the
advertiser who will discuss your requirements with you.
Our Vision
At Leasing.com, we understand that searching for your new car is exciting. We want to find you the best
offers and make it as simple and stress-free as possible. That’s why our vision is to be the market-leading,
trusted
champion of car leasing.

Code Of Conduct
How do we make money?
We earn money when we put you in touch with one of the companies who advertise with us. However, we don’t
charge you any fees – our service is free to use. This is how it works:
- You search Leasing.com to find the deal you want
- You send an enquiry to the company promoting your favourite deal
- That company pays to advertise with us – irrespective of whether or not you take out a deal, the deal
you take out or the price you pay
Do we work with every provider?
Our aim is to help you search offers from a wide a range of companies as possible, so that you can choose the
best offer for you. But not every company can be included on our marketplace:
- Some companies don’t want their offers included on marketplaces like ours.
- Others are not able to meet the standards that we expect of companies who advertise with us.
- A few smaller companies can struggle to cope with the volume of consumer enquiries received when they
appear on Leasing.com so prefer to advertise via their own website.
Meet the team
Dave Timmis
Managing Director
Dave founded the business in February 2000. Having grown Leasing.com organically, he’s performed
almost every role in the company, with the exception of IT. From the very early days of the internet
in the UK, Dave
recognised the niche marketing and real-time publishing opportunities that it offered. Prior to
founding the business, Dave’s background was in advertising sales and management, mainly newspaper
classifieds and then
direct marketing. On a day-to-day basis, Dave does much of the interesting (and boring stuff) that
MDs do. Outside the office, his family, three young boys and four dogs keep him busy. And the gym,
unless he can avoid
it.
Phil Gray
Head of Operations
Phil has been with Leasing.com for over 10 years and is responsible for the management and
development of the company’s IT software and hardware systems. He contributes to the strategic
planning of the business focusing
on areas of product development and management information. Prior to joining the business, Phil held
a series of management positions in a range of public and private sector companies. Outside of the
office, Phil has
interests in fine coffee and malt whiskey, both of which have proved useful in different ways while
raising his two children.
Chris Evans
Head of Consumer Experience
Chris is the chief consumer champion, creator and educator and heads up our digital marketing, UX, content and social media teams.
He’s not the red-haired gentleman who presented Top Gear for a short while and has never played the
role of Captain
America. A former finance journalist, copywriter and jack of all online content trades, Chris now
spends most of his time ensuring the site’s content is fresh, published on time and in tip-top
shape. He’s an advocate of
plain, clear and concise English … and the copywriting rule of three. He doesn’t spend any time in
the gym, he prefers TV boxset marathons and spending time with his family of three four.
Paul Harrison
Head of Strategic Partnerships
Paul has been with Leasing.com since November 2017 and is responsible for building and maintaining
the business’ external relationships, including those with motor manufacturers, finance companies
and product partners.
He helps to raise the profile of the business within the automotive industry, and as a member of the
strategy team contributes to the strategic direction of the business. Prior to joining, Paul spent
15 years in the
motor industry in a variety of management roles. When not working, Paul spends his time eating
ice-cream with his twin daughters and suffering – whether it’s supporting Wolves or going on long
cycle rides.
Michaela Syzling
Head of Administration
Michaela has worked in the finance sector of the automotive industry since 1998 and been with
Leasing.com since early 2006. Michaela undertakes a central operational role within the business,
managing a range of business
administration functions which include HR, compliance and regulatory requirements.
Ben Johnson
Infrastructure Manager
Benjamin started at Leasing.com as a contractor in September 2014 and became the permanent
Infrastructure Manager in July 2017. He is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the
infrastructure estate from datacentre
virtualisation, security and firewalls and anything networked through to office desktop computers.
He also assists the Head of IT with planning future infrastructure direction. He has previously
worked in a wide range of
industries from manufacturing, television and telecoms through to internet service providers.
Outside of work, he can often be found behind a video switcher putting together live video streams
of various events.
