Glasgow-based finance broker First Vehicle Leasing has appointed a Canadian husband and wife to its sales team.

Allyson Weir and Bill Yardley from Vancouver, bring with them a collective 35 years motor trade experience.

Weir has 25 years senior management experience in the trade and is a former sales manager for a General Motors outlet in Canada.

Yardley has worked in the motor trade for the past decade.

As sales account managers, the couple share the same responsibility within First Vehicle Leasing: to identify the best car deals available in the market for customers.

Weir said: “Both Bill and I are delighted to join FVL. Whilst the motor trade in Scotland is different to Canada, all the dealers, suppliers and customers have been fantastic to work with.”

Andy Bell, manager at First Vehicle Leasing, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Allyson and Bill to the firm – Vancouver’s loss is definitely Glasgow’s gain insofar as our customers are concerned.

“Both bring insight and experience and are already helping us drive the business forward.”
