About Earth Day

Today is Earth Day! The 22nd of April is a very special day here at WestWon, as today we will be celebrating Earth Day. What’s even better is that this year’s theme is ‘Invest in our planet’. It’s calling for businesses to start thinking about their green agenda’s and how they can move towards becoming more climate friendly. Earth Day’s purpose each year is to bring together people from across the world to combat the issues of climate change, pollution, deforestation and a number of other issues that are currently destroying our planet.

 

The first Earth Day happened in 1970. People took to the streets to protest against the detrimental impacts of industrial development had caused. Not just to the environment, but to the human population too. There will undoubtedly be a huge number of campaigns for today. We hope that along with numerous others, everyone starts to think more about the environment and how we impact it daily. So, make sure to look out today for a number of tips and suggestions on how you can do your part! No matter how small it is, everyone’s collective efforts will help combat the current climate crisis.

WestWon’s green agenda

Here at WestWon, we are proud to say we have upped our game in regards to our green agenda. We have already implemented several green choices in our office, and wish to continue to do so. One example is that we are currently a paperless office and have been for several years now. All our filing systems are online, and any paper that we absolutely must use is recycled. Any paper that we send out additionally is always on recyclable paper.

 

We have also implemented LED lighting in our office, a much more environmentally friendly lighting option. If you are moving office, thinking about redoing a workplace, or just want to do your bit for the environment, investing in LED lighting is a good place to start. And not only does it help our environment but it is also a considerably cheaper alternative!

 

Additionally, we have equipped each floor of our offices with recycling bins to encourage all members of staff to recycle whilst they are at work too.

 

Our biggest achievement to date however is the introduction of the WestWon Woodland. The scheme started properly in January and since then we have managed to plant just under 6,000 trees in our virtual woodland. We have also reduced over 105 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere. This is a significant amount, and it can only get bigger! We are excited to get the chance to work with our customers, and by planting a tree for every month of a lease agreement we do with you, we can make a huge difference to the world we live in. We even got involved in the tree planting ourselves, you can read more about our marketing team’s tree planting trip here. If you would like more information about the WestWon Woodland, then please click here.

 

To add to this, we have been proud to call ourselves a climate positive company for 6 months now! This meaning that all of our carbon emissions as a company have been offset within the last 6 months. Check out our badge below!

Climate Positive

Supporting companies in their journey to sustainability

Here at WestWon we make it easier for companies to access environmentally friendly energy sources. We understand that renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines can be pricey. But we make it affordable for companies to contribute positively to the planet without causing damage to their cash flow.

 

We offer finance for wind turbines and solar panels. The projects can be financed from start to finish. Therefore, we can provide finance for the initial survey, the commodity itself, delivery and installation costs!

EV finance

Many are now making the shift to Electric Vehicles and us included with 2 of our company cars now being electric! Many are making this shift in efforts to reduce pollution as well as to avoid the ever rising fuel prices. Here at WestWon we offer finance for companies looking to acquire EVs for a healthier atmosphere for us all.

 

And just like the renewable energy sources mentioned above, you can finance the full package with us! Therefore, you can finance your EV chargers with us too! We are mindful that most of the time, the installation costs can be more costly than the chargers themselves. But not to worry, as we can finance these costs also!

Our belated year start meeting

/0 Comments/in , /by

Our overdue year start meeting commenced on the 17th of this month. It was held at the Crowne Plaza in Marlow, and we were given the privilege of a stunning lakeside view.

crowne plaza

We had a combination of physical and virtual attendees, and it was a great opportunity for us to all get together and reflect upon the successes, along with the downfalls of 2021, whilst also looking forward to the rest of 2022 and what lies ahead.

It was enlightening to hear from all branches of the WestWon family tree and their experience with 2021. This outlined their 2021 sales figures, and their longer term visions for 2022.

We are proud to say that we are the minority of leasing companies who actually hold year start meetings. As we believe that year start meetings are fundamental to get our team off to the right start. It is in effect a way to refocus, motivate whilst also allowing time for our team to socialise and in some cases acquaint themselves, especially this year with all our 8 new additions to the team!

2022 motivation

As part of our team motivation objective, we invited former World Champion boxer and motivational speaker, Billy Schwer along, to get our team in the right mindset for the new year. We found him both insightful and inspiring.

After our pep talk from Billy, we made some time for some teambuilding activities, bringing everyone together to refamiliarize.

Later on, we went into Marlow for the evening to give everyone a chance to mingle and celebrate the end of 2021, whilst also welcoming the triumphs of 2022 in. We started off with drinks at the Duke of Clarence, followed by a delicious meal at Côte.

It was an amazing opportunity to recap from 2021. We acknowledge and praise all the team for their efforts, and plan and set out intentions for the year ahead.

WestWon Leasemaster’s transition to Technology Leasing!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

WestWon are proud to announce the transition of WestWon Leasemaster into Technology Leasing! The two companies have joined forces to become one. This is such an exciting opportunity for both companies, and we are very happy for all members of the team. This will combine a worthy range of benefits such as their teams and their client bases. Along with this alliance, they have redesigned their look by introducing a new logo, colour scheme, and overall look and feel of the website. This new website can be found here. This new alliance will be an extremely exciting thing for all those involved.

Background of WestWon Leasemaster and Technology Leasing

WestWon Leasemaster has been under the leadership of Steve Holdstock and his team since 2016. Since then, they have managed to grow their relationships with clients to be bigger than it ever has been. Steve himself has over 30 years experience in sales and leasing. As well as this, he has an expert base of knowledge that allows him to work so well with clients. Through these years of experience, he has been able to provide expert advice in all sectors of leasing whenever needed.

Technology Leasing has been around since 1989 when Brian Burns founded the business. In 2020, Brian officially retired from the company and passed over the reins to Kevin Green. Kevin has successfully guided Technology Leasing through the last 2 years. This is due to him working for most of his life in the leasing and finance sector. He previously worked for a number of large companies such as GE Capital, Apple Financial Services and Dell Financial Services.

In combining these two well respected and highly knowledgeable key people, along with a highly experienced and professional team behind them, we know that Technology Leasing will become a strong contender in the leasing sector.

Steve Holdstock, now the Managing Director of Technology Leasing says “Our name now reflects where our market is and what we can offer to that market. This is a simple yet exciting step forward which opens up a future for the company that we have not seen before. I am thrilled to be working alongside Kevin and our team, and cannot wait for Technology Leasing to grow into a formidable player in the sector.”

WestWon’s involvement

Our relationship with WestWon Leasemaster still remains extremely strong, and where we need to collaborate with them we will. We wish them all the best luck, and cannot wait to see what they achieve in the future.

Our new Client and Family pages

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Here at WestWon we have introduced our new Client and Family pages to our website, and we thought we would give you a bit more information about each one. Should you wish to have a look at our new Clients and Family pages, follow the links attached. They can also be found in the top of our website header.

Clients page

The first page we have developed is the Clients page. This was made to demonstrate to our customers and competition about our ever-growing client base of around 10,000 organisations. Our vast range of clients includes well known brands such as Pandora, KFC and Honda. It also includes numerous football and cricket clubs including Leicester City Football club and Kent Cricket. We also thought it was important to include our number of clients and agreements written, to show that business is busier than ever before!

We have also included case studies and testimonials written by our clients. Our current case studies currently include those from ECR Solutions, Wysetech and General Lamps. At WestWon, we make sure customer satisfaction is always at the highest possible level it can be. This is also why when customers feel so thrilled with their experience that they leave a review, we like to show others their experience. We also have a list of testimonials at the bottom of the page. These are all taken from our new partnered review platform, Boom Reviews. This site allows us to send out review requests to customers after doing business with them. We then feed these through to our Client’s page. We currently have an overall 5-star rating, with over 160 reviews on the platform. This number will just keep rising!

Family page

We have also developed our new Family page, which can be found in the drop-down section of the About header on the WestWon website. This encompasses all WestWon’s affiliated companies. This includes sister companies such as Scaffold Finance, acquisitions including Tech 5 and Capex, brands like Fish Fryer Finance and Leasing Calculator or a business that WestWon has a small equity stake in. We currently have around 20 organisations and cannot wait to involve more companies to help them and us grow in the future.

Contact Us

If you and your business are interested in becoming a proud affiliation of WestWon, do not hesitate to contact us. A member of our team will be more than happy to assist. Alternatively, if you would like more information on our new Client and Family pages mentioned in this blog, call us on 01494 611 456 or email [email protected].

Donating to a very worthwhile cause, Action Medical Research

/0 Comments/in , /by

After months of training, we set off on a seven-hour drive to Keswick in the Lake District last Friday to take part in the ‘Race the Sun’ challenge, organised by Action Medical Research for children.

Action Medical Research

Action Medical Research is the leading UK charity funding vital research to help defeat the diseases that devastate the lives of sick and disabled babies, children, and young people.  They were founded in 1952 with the quest to find a cure for polio. Their main focus is now on the young.

The Challenge

Our day started at 6.30am, just before sun rise with a 40-mile cycle ride. The rain did not dampen our spirits or those of the other forty-one teams who were taking part. Whilst some were there to win the race, our objective was to enjoy the day and get round in one piece!

The Race the Sun challenge is made up of three parts. The first is a cycle ride, then a 2.5 mile canoe across Derwent Lake. This was followed by an eleven mile hike up and down Skiddaw Mountain. The idea is to complete the event by sunset. We made it back in time finishing at 5.45pm. We arrived at the finish line to a loud thunderous applause by the other teams before us.

All of us have total respect for Action Medical Research. This event was very well organised and ran by an army of volunteers who put our safety first. As we were walking / climbing up Skiddaw Mountain (at 3,054 feet, the sixth highest mountain in England) I was wondering why they had so many marshals logging our team number. As we got nearer the top, visibility was poor, and the temperature dropped. I can see now why it’s so important to be well prepared when hike up a mountain!

As we retired back to our Bed and Breakfast lodging in Keswick, we reflected on what we achieved during the day. Dominic, Tony, and I had raised nearly £5,000.00 for Action Medical Research. Their team/organisation deserves every penny, such wonderful people.

For us, we have the honour of completing the challenge and spending quality time together.

Next challenge – Dorney Lake half Marathon, Sunday 12th December – I will be wearing my WestWon t-shirt.
