Select Car Leasing has risen above thousands of nominees to be shortlisted for a prestigious industry award.
The Great British Business & Community Awards take place each year and celebrate the ‘achievements of businesses, charities and inspirational individuals’ throughout the Thames Valley region.
Organisers of the event say they’ve had a staggering 1,618 nominations this year.
And Select has now been shortlisted for the ‘Outstanding Contribution to The Community’ trophy.
It comes after a year in which Select Car Leasing supported a number of grassroots initiatives designed to improve the lives of young people.
It includes providing free sports kits for football teams, free meals for children during school holidays, and giving away hundreds of free tickets so that youngsters could watch Reading F.C at the Select Car Leasing Stadium. Many of those young people had never been to watch a professional football game before.
Meanwhile the Great British Business & Community Awards recognition comes after Select was also shortlisted for a ‘Grassroots Sports Sponsorship’ prize at the national UK Sponsorship Awards 2023.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony to take place on Friday 21st April at The Hilton, Reading.
Mark Tongue, Director of Select Car Leasing, says he’s extremely proud of Select’s reputation as a socially-responsible business.
He added:
“We’re extremely pleased to be shortlisted in the ‘Outstanding Contribution to The Community’ category at the Great British Business & Community Awards. It’s yet more recognition Select Car Leasing’s commitment to funding and supporting initiatives for youngsters across Reading and the Thames Valley region. There are many challenges facing grassroots sports teams right now and we’re keen to give something back to the community. Our support of such endeavours will continue throughout 2023 and beyond.”
Earlier this month Select Car Leasing also triumphed at the 2023 Business Motoring Awards, winning the ‘Best Fleet Management Company' trophy.
The Business Motoring judges commented:
“Select Fleet Solutions is a one-stop-shop for all fleet managers and decision makers. The dedicated Fleet Solutions arm of Select Car Leasing offers all fleet customers the most competitive leasing rates in the market, with access to the 10 largest leasing funders, plus support to negotiate the best end user discount terms.

Sarah Worthington, fleet specialist and Corporate Sales Manager at Select Car Leasing, said at the time:
“This Business Motoring award reflects all of the hard work the team has put in, and we’re delighted to be recognised by the industry in this way. We have plans to expand further in 2023 following a huge increase in fleet enquiries and recommendations from existing customers in the SME space. And 2023 will also bring more experienced fleet partners to the Select Fleet Solutions offering, as well as exciting enhancements to our Salary Sacrifice customer journey, which saves employees up to 40% on electric vehicles.”
