THE Sytner Group, the prestige motor retailer, launched its new contract hire business Sytner Vehicle Contracts on Monday, in partnership with Capital Bank. Heading the new Leicester-based operation as general manager is Mark Bennett, former corporate sales manager for Pendragon Motor Group.

Services offered by Sytner Vehicle Contracts include contract hire, finance lease, contract purchase and personal contract purchase - with or without maintenance - for business cars of all makes. Bennett said: 'Customers will be offered products according to their needs rather than using the standard 'one-size-fits-all' approach. These needs will be ascertained through a free tax efficiency and cost effectiveness analysis on the prospective customer's fleet.'
