Short-term vehicle lease company FlexxiLease is back in business and under new ownership after it closing its order book in the summer.

The Car Crash Line Group (CCL) has sold the FlexxiLease brand, along with its three sister brands, FlexxiVan, FlexxiPartner and FlexxiRent to Giraffe Automotive Services for an undisclosed amount.

The directors of Giraffe are Adrian Hayter, the original founder of FlexxiLease, and Mel Goodliffe, the former commercial director of CCL.

The online offering, which is aimed at both corporates and consumers looking for three to 24-month leasing product, is already enjoying a number of new business enquiries and Hayter believes stability in the sector is finally on the horizon.

“Motor manufacturers have consolidated their position, the financial sector is beginning to raise its head above the parapet in terms of lending appetite and there is a growing, albeit tentative, confidence amongst consumers and corporates alike,” said Hayter.

FlexxiLease will operate as a broker with a mixture of funders and dealers, while FlexxiPartner offers an additional sales channel for its sister brands through a long established community of brokers.

FlexxiVan will be re-launched in the New Year, along with FlexxiRent, a daily rental product which is currently under development.

Vehicles which were leased prior to sell off are being managed by the One Stop Car Shop, a subsidiary of CCL, and should be completed by early 2010.
