Your Vehicle Rental Strengthens Leadership Team as Industry Experts Reunite to Drive Ambitious Growth Plans
Following a remarkable first year in business, Your Vehicle Rental (YVR) has announced a major milestone in its growth journey, with respected fleet and funding specialist Marc McLoughlin joining the board and working alongside founder Bridget Brown.
Your Vehicle Rental is a proudly independent, friendly vehicle rental solutions business based at Brockhall Business Centre in the Ribble Valley. Specialising in vehicle rental and fleet management, the business has built its reputation on offering honest advice and exceptional customer service. Customers deal with real people, as opposed to automated sales bots, who takes the time to understand customer needs, ensuring they’re matched with the right vehicle rather than simply what’s available. By removing the hassle often associated with sourcing and managing vehicles, Your Vehicle Rental provides a refreshingly personal service that has quickly earned the trust of businesses and drivers across Lancashire and the North West.
The partnership marks a reunion for the pair, who previously worked together for several years at Marc’s former business, KeyFleet, where they built a strong professional relationship founded on exceptional customer service, operational excellence and sustainable growth.
After successfully launching and establishing Your Vehicle Rental over the past 12 months, Bridget made the decision to reinvest in the business to support its next phase of expansion. Bringing Marc into the business was a natural progression, benefitting from Marc’s three decades of industry experience and commercial expertise with an already proven working relationship.
“After a fantastic first year, I wanted to reinvest in the business, drive further growth, introduce new systems and make every part of the customer journey, as well as our internal processes, even more seamless,” said Bridget. “Bringing Marc into the business simply made sense. We’ve worked incredibly well together before, we share the same values, and I know the experience he brings will help take the business to the next level.”
Marc joins the board with over 30 years’ experience in vehicle leasing, rental and automotive finance. Throughout his career, he has built an extensive network across the industry while developing specialist vehicle funding solutions designed to support businesses and individuals that don’t always fit the standard leasing, rental, or finance model.
These include tailored programmes for probationary employees, new starters, businesses requiring fleet support, and customers with complex or credit-challenged circumstances, helping more people access the vehicles they need to keep moving.
“I’m delighted to be working with Bridget again,” said Marc. “She was one of the standout people I worked with previously and has done an incredible job building Your Vehicle Rental into what it is today. It comes as no surprise what she has managed to build at YVR and they’ve had a tremendous first year in business. I’m also looking forward to working alongside Tom, who will play a key role in driving our marketing strategy as we continue to grow.”
“I genuinely believe I can add significant value through the relationships I’ve built across the leasing and finance sectors, alongside some of the specialist vehicle funding solutions we’ve developed over the years and help shape the strategy and direction of the business. Together, we’re creating a offering that’s agile, customer-focused and capable of offering something genuinely different.”
With a strong customer base and extensive contact network across Lancashire and the North West, Your Vehicle Rental is committed to helping local businesses thrive by providing flexible vehicle solutions backed by a knowledgeable, personal service.
While the business continues to support customers directly, it is also expanding its specialist offering for intermediaries, brokers, introducers and strategic partners, providing tailored vehicle solutions and collaborative opportunities that help partners better serve their own clients.
Bridget added “As well as serving our direct customers across the county and beyond, we’ve identified a gap in the market where we can support leasing brokers and fleet service providers either on an ad hoc basis or as a fully outsourced extension of their team. Our fully managed white label rental service will give our partners a branded and bespoke rental offering that they can market directly to their clients with the YVR team handling the client journey on their behalf.”
Having exceeded expectations in its first year, this announcement signals the beginning of an ambitious new chapter for Your Vehicle Rental, combining industry expertise, operational excellence and a shared commitment to delivering an outstanding customer experience.
