Steve said: “When you’re the largest independent and a top ten lessor in the UK, the sort of people in this business tend to think a little bit independently. Every role within the business makes a difference to our customers, our culture and our success. In 2023 we established our values using the acronym PRAISE. Partnership, Respect, Accountability, Integrity, Service and Excellence. We use these to create accountability to each other, our customers, our partners and to our shareholders. We also introduced our employee recognition scheme called the ‘PRAISE Awards’, celebrating those that go above and beyond and we have a Colleague Forum who meet every 2 months, giving our employees a voice for positive change.”
“We have got approximately 135 people in the business now, and I know just about everyone by name, or at least I try to. It’s just that perfect size of a business where everyone knows a little bit about each other and what they do. We regularly get together at our social events which, as a result, get a great turnout and bring a sense of community and pride.”
With a strong commitment to the environment, PEAC has innovated its offering, assisting in financing technologies that can reduce reliance on fossil fuels and in turn, lower greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric pollution. They are keen to build on environmental responsibility across their customer base.
The team also play an active part in environmental efforts within the local Bracknell BID community, regularly attending the Tidy Day community litter picks. With a team of dedicated professionals, PEAC Solutions UK aim to empower its people to make a real difference to its business, their customers and to the environment whilst fundraising for their charity of the year, as voted for by their employees.
Steve said: “We are incredibly proud of our team’s dedication to our Charity of the Year initiative and for the £11,136 raised for Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity. Rainbow Trust does fantastic work and it’s heartwarming to see our colleagues and the wider community come together to support such a meaningful cause.”
PEAC Solutions UK’s leadership in the asset finance and leasing sector makes them a valuable member of Bracknell’s business community as they focus on sensible, modest, organic growth and an unwavering dedication to local and eco-friendly initiatives.
