About Us
We first started trading in 1999 in Windsor, Berkshire. Our founders had spent many years prior to this working within both the vehicle financing and engineering industries. They created Benchmark with a desire to work in partnership with our clients, colleagues, funders and suppliers.
Over the years we have expanded and, whilst still in Windsor, are now located in larger premises close to Windsor Castle.
Our sales, account management and support functions are all designed to work together to provide a service where we know our clients and their needs well. We have worked with many of our clients, funders and suppliers for over ten years, which is very rare in our industry. What is also rare is our staff retention; 60% of us have worked at Benchmark for over seven years.
Our operating systems are bespoke to Benchmark and enable us to efficiently operate our clients' fleets and to provide timely, accurate and pertinent information - essential to their needs. Our products and services include
- Contract Hire (Business users)
- Fleet Management
- Sale and Leaseback
- Finance Lease
- Contract Purchase
- Car Policy (creation and consultancy)
- Accident Management
- Car & Van rental including Pre-Contract vehicles
- Personal Contract Hire
- Personal Contract Purchase
Businesses often find that their company cars are their third or fourth most costly overhead and various taxation pitfalls may surround the ownership of vehicles. It is therefore essential that you receive expert, up-to-date and accurate advice before choosing your vehicle and acquisition method. We are at hand to offer this service to our clients.
