THE Milton-Keynes based Braylake Car Company has launched its own vehicle leasing and contract hire division. The move follows the company's acquisition last year of a Honda main dealership at Hemel Hempstead, a used car dealership at Wolverton and a servicing and specialist repair centre at Bletchley. Braylake previously operated a single Suzuki main dealership in Bletchley.

The new division is headed by Peter Clements, who was formerly sales manager of the Suzuki dealership. Among the first of the leasing division's customers is Giftware International, which has taken on a Suzuki Vitara for its sales manager and a Toyota MR2 for one of its directors.
