Well, that’s pretty much it for 2022. It’s not all been smooth sailing, but overall we’ve had a good year, and we hope you have too.
Thank you to all our customers. We are delighted that you have put your faith in us and we hope you all had a great experience with us throughout the leasing process. We’d like to think that our levels of professionalism and customer service have been more than enough for you to consider leasing your next van from us.
Our staff have worked exceptionally hard this year, against challenging conditions, to deliver new van leases to our customers. This year, Van Ninja has grown and improved. 127 of the 136 reviews we have received this year on Trustpilot were 5 stars. That’s not possible without a strong commitment to our core values.
Our staffing levels have grown, and the new staff members have brought enthusiasm and drive (and more than a little personality!) to the team. They have contributed strongly to the success of the business, and we plan to expand further in the new year.
We have brought new finance lenders onboard, increasing our finance options and allowing more of our customers to be approved for lease deals.
2022 was a year plagued with the aftermath of the lockdowns of 2021. Vehicle manufacturers have had supply problems themselves, which in turn has impacted our stock availability. Despite that, we have pushed to acquire new vans for our customers, and throughout 2022 we continued to be one of the few van leasing companies with stock vehicles available at short notice.
Looking ahead to 2023, we will likely face the same challenges as 2022. Manufacturers continue to provide long lead times, meaning stock will continue to be difficult to acquire for most leasing companies. With the experience of the past few years, Van Ninja have put in place a strong plan to ensure stock will be available throughout next year.
Our strength is the ability to hold stock in-house, and we will continue to leverage that to ensure your new van arrives in a timely manner when you need it. We can’t control the interest rates, but we can keep our own margins low to bring you competitive prices.
Supply is gradually improving, and the leasing sector is expected to grow again in 2023. Van Ninja intends to be at the forefront, giving you excellent customer service, great lease prices, and – most importantly – new vans in stock when you need them.
Thank you to everyone that has made 2022 a successful year.
Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. And we’ll see you in 2023.
