Wessex Fleet Updates
Wessex Fleet has been crowned Ayvens Broker of the Year 2026, marking the second time in as many weeks that we’ve had reason to celebrate.
The prestigious accolade arrives just a week after we broke into the Fleet News FN50 rankings for the first time, securing a place among the UK’s largest leasing companies. Together, these consecutive milestones highlight our rapid expansion, hybrid funding strength, and unwavering commitment to customer service across our 20,000-vehicle managed and brokered portfolio.

Unlike industry awards decided by public nomination forms, the Ayvens Broker of the Year title is awarded strictly on merit. To be considered, a brokerage must first hold accredited status on the Ayvens Approved Broker Panel, maintain an active UK funding facility alongside full BVRLA membership and FCA regulation, and typically operate at an elite partner tier, recognised for transparent pricing and consistent standards.
We secured the top honour by excelling across Ayvens’ strict internal performance benchmarks. These include delivering standout customer satisfaction scores with minimal complaint ratios. Ayvens also evaluates operational and SLA compliance, tracking order accuracy, fast documentation turnaround, and responsive collaboration with internal teams, alongside substantial annual deliveries and strong year-on-year growth across business, personal, and salary sacrifice channels.
Directors Tim McNally and Simon Naylor picked up the award at the ceremony on 12th November, held at the stunning Ettington Park Hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Tim commented:“To be named Ayvens Broker of the Year just days after entering the FN50 rankings for the very first time is an extraordinary achievement for everyone at Wessex Fleet.
Because this award is based on an objective measure of not just the quantity but also the quality of business we send, it’s a true testament to the dedication of our team.
“We’re grateful to Ayvens for their continued partnership as one of our core tier-1 funders. As we prepare to unveil our new brand identity and website, this recognition gives us tremendous momentum going into the new year, reinforcing our commitment to providing flexible, transparent leasing and fleet solutions for every client.”
