GOFOR, an Edinburgh-based fleet management company, has announced the opening of a brand-new office in Blackburn in Lancashire.
The move represents the company’s first location outside of its Scottish headquarters. Three business development professionals with over 40 years of combined experience in fleet solutions and EV salary sacrifice have also been appointed.
Gofor said the expansion into the UK represented a significant chapter in its evolution, reinforcing its position as one of the UK’s leading mid-sized vehicle leasing brokers offering its proactive fleet solutions and electric vehicle (EV) salary sacrifice schemes.
Experienced New Team Members At Gofor Blackburn Office
Driving the new Blackburn office for Gofor are three new team members who have extensive experience in the leasing sector:
- Mark Stuart (Fleet and Salary Sacrifice Consultant);
- Peter Wright (Fleet and Salary Sacrifice Consultant);
- and Paul Armstrong (Account Manager).
The new team will focus on growing Gofor’s footprint with SMEs seeking a forward-thinking partner to manage their company cars, vans and wider employee vehicle strategy.
This is a significant day for Gofor. We launched with a goal to build a business that offered customers proactive solutions to help better manage their company vehicles. Today, we’re delivering that value to businesses across the UK and by expanding our footprint with a location in England, we’ll be able to strengthen our position as one of the UK’s leading mid-sized vehicle leasing brokers.
Founder and CEO of Gofor, Graham Lesslie
Gofor Managing Director, Iain Bennett, who will work closely with the new hires, added:
“We’re delighted to strengthen our business development team with the appointment of Mark, Paul and Peter. Their combined experience and deep understanding of fleet management and EV salary sacrifice will be invaluable as we grow our UK-wide reach. This is not just about scale – it’s about supporting our customers with service-led, consultative and effective solutions that will deliver long-term value for their fleets.”
New Gofor Fleet Management specialist Mark Stuart said:
“I’ve known about Gofor for a few years now as they’ve grown within the leasing broker market. The opportunity to join them and to be a core part of the next step of their journey is an exciting one; I can’t wait to start meeting our new and prospective customers across the UK in the coming weeks and months”
Gofor focuses on end-to-end fleet management, including EV adoption strategies, salary sacrifice programmes, and ongoing driver support.
