Leasing.com is a British company founded in 2000. Starting from a bedroom office, the company has grown to operate from a purpose-built office in Cheshire, helping millions of consumers secure great deals on new cars and earning several awards.
At the end of 2022, celebrating its 22nd anniversary, founder and CEO Dave Timmis reflected on the company’s journey and the efforts behind developing and maintaining the UK’s largest car leasing comparison website by giving an interview.
In the interview, it’s evident that the company took a major branding turn, finally acquiring the domain name Leasing.com and ending the use of its 4-word domain, ContractHireAndLeasing.com.
Registered in 1998, the domain name Leasing.com appears to have been acquired from Domain Capital.
It’s amazing that a major car dealership in the UK went for 19 years on such a long domain but the acquisition of Leasing.com in 2019 was definitely worth it!
