Agnew Leasing

What Agnew Leasing does

Agnew Leasing, operating legally as Isaac Agnew Holdings Ltd, is a vehicle leasing and contract hire provider headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, serving business users, private individuals, and commercial fleet operators. The company offers three core products — Business Contract Hire, Personal Contract Hire, and Business Van Leasing — sourcing vehicles from any manufacturer through its affiliation with Sytner Group Limited, the UK's largest motor retailer. Quote-based monthly rentals begin from approximately £209 + VAT and scale upward depending on vehicle, term, and mileage, with contract tenures typically spanning 2–4 years.

The company supplements its leasing book with a layer of value-added services including Fleet Management, Whole Life Costs analysis, EV Consultancy, 24-hour Accident Management (via Contac Claims), Vehicle Tracking (via TomTom integration), and an Affinity Car Scheme for employee benefits. Operationally it relies on direct sales teams reachable by phone and website enquiry rather than a proprietary technology platform, using standard industry systems for fleet management and vehicle procurement. Its go-to-market is sales-led, combining a Belfast-based inside sales function with a single regional office footprint and digital presence under the broader Agnew Group brand.

Commercially, Agnew Leasing generates recurring monthly rental revenue on multi-year contracts, with the BVRLA-accredited, FCA-regulated parent (FRN 310540) providing capital backing, regulatory cover, and access to multi-franchise manufacturer relationships across Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche, Škoda, Volvo, and Volkswagen. Geographic focus remains concentrated on Northern Ireland, with no claim to broader international markets.
