The business behind Intelligent Vehicle Finance picked up three industry awards in the first half of 2026. In February, parent group Global Vehicle Group was named Best B2B Broker in the inaugural BN25 league table. In April, XLCR Vehicle Management, the company behind Intelligent Vehicle Finance, won two categories at the Broker News Awards. Here is what the judges actually said, and what it means if you lease through our Plymouth team.
Best B2B Broker, BN25 2026
The BN25 is Broker News' league table of the top 25 UK leasing brokers by sales volume, unveiled on 5 February 2026. Global Vehicle Group (GVG) took the Best B2B Broker award, sponsored by Partridge BMW, and was confirmed as the second-largest leasing broker in the country by volume, with 17,862 vehicle sales in 2025.
Most leasing league tables reward sheer volume. The B2B award is different: it recognises brokers whose business is built on serving companies. That is exactly the market Intelligent Vehicle Finance serves - company directors, owner-managers, finance leads and small fleets who want a specialist to handle the detail rather than a comparison site.
Two wins at the Broker News Awards 2026
On 24 April, XLCR was named winner of two categories.
Best Commercial Vehicle Broker (supported by Leasys UK). The judges said XLCR "stand out for their in-depth knowledge of the commercial vehicle market and the tailored approach they have with their customers", and noted the "Ready to run" stock vehicles available with delivery offered within 48 hours.
Best SME Fleet Broker (supported by Sytner Group). The judges commented that XLCR "have excelled since the acquisition from Global Vans enabling them to integrate their business across the Global Vehicle Group", adding that the CRM and stock management system now being adopted across the group is "a testament to the capabilities of the system and the management team".
What it means if you lease with us
- SME expertise, independently judged. Whether you run one company car or a small fleet, you are dealing with a broker whose SME work has been assessed against the whole UK leasing broker market.
- Commercial vehicle knowledge on tap. Our dedicated van specialist can draw on XLCR's award-winning commercial vehicle expertise for your van lease.
- A broad funder panel. Group volume of this size supports the funder panel we compare on your behalf across business contract hire, finance lease and contract purchase.
- Tailored and phone-first. The judges singled out XLCR's tailored approach. That is how Intelligent Vehicle Finance works too: a conversation first, then options built around your business, never a one-size-fits-all price list.
