What I handle

Cars, vans and the awkward bits

A business vehicle can involve a dealer, a funder and sometimes a converter before it is ready for work. I keep those conversations together and come back to you with what needs a decision.

01

Leasing a car/van

I start with where the vehicle goes, what it carries and how long you expect to keep it, then explain the leasing solution that fits.

02

Finding the vehicle

When I worked at Peugeot in 2016, customers kept asking me for Transits I couldn’t supply. That’s partly why I started ARH: one manufacturer’s range isn’t always the answer.

03

Sorting a custom build

Some vans need more than colour and trim. I’ve arranged window vans and a grounds-maintenance build with a wire cage, bringing the vehicle and conversion into the same conversation.

04

A proper hour, when you need one

Sometimes a question needs proper time, like comparing several solutions or working through a bigger change. We agree what the session covers and what it costs before you book, and you pay upfront so everybody knows where they stand.

Why I started ARH

I left the dealership because one badge wasn’t enough.

At Peugeot, customers would ask me for vehicles I couldn’t supply, Transits included. Going out on my own in 2017 meant I could look across manufacturers and a broader range of funders, then steer a client away from the wrong option when that was the honest answer.

I still keep the business small on purpose. I handle the client conversations, with a couple of people helping with the admin in the background.

After you ring

What happens after you ring me?

There’s no call centre and no hand-off. I ask enough to understand the job, do the research and come back when there’s something useful to discuss.

01

You explain what needs to change

Start with what you’re replacing, what has changed and the date the vehicle needs to be working, knowing the first conversation is free and you can leave it there without taking it any further.

02

I go away and do the research

I check the manufacturers, suppliers and funding solutions that make sense for the brief. If a custom build is involved, I speak to the converter as well.

03

You make the call

I explain what I’ve found, including the catches. If you want to go ahead, I manage the order through to delivery; if you don’t, that’s where it ends.

Client words

What clients say.

Before you call

A few things you might reasonably want to know.

How I’m paid, whether the first conversation turns into sales calls, and who I’m set up to help.

Read all the FAQs
01What happens when I contact you?

You tell me what has prompted the search, what the vehicle does and any deadline already in the diary. I’ll ask questions, tell you whether it is something I can help with and explain the next sensible step. That first conversation is free.

02How are you paid?

Once a vehicle is ordered, I charge an arrangement fee through ARH and receive commission from the funder. If you book a Power Hour, that’s agreed and paid for upfront instead. I’ll tell you what applies before you decide anything.

03Will I be chased after the first call?

No. If I have something useful to add, I’ll get in touch; if you decide not to continue, I won’t keep pushing. My business depends on clients coming back for the next vehicle, not wearing them down after the first call.

04What sort of businesses do you work with?

Most of my clients are owner-run businesses with roughly 1 to 25 cars or vans, where the vehicle decision still lands with the owner. That isn’t a hard boundary. If the job sits outside my scope, I’ll say so.

No hard sell
