White Clarke Group, market leaders in software solutions and business consultancy to the automotive and asset finance sector for retail, fleet and wholesale announced the opening of their new office in Beijing. The announcement is timed to coincide with publication of WCG’s latest industry white paper, China - Asset and Auto Finance Country Survey 2013.

“China is huge opportunity that has nowhere near reached its full potential.” said Brendan Gleeson, director of global business development and strategy for White Clarke Group. “All the key drivers are in place – huge market size, fast growth rate and low penetration of leasing. New business volumes are forecast to grow by 30-50% in 2013 and government incentives are in place to encourage leasing activities in infrastructure development, renewable energy, and leasing finance for SMEs in particular.”

“It is also the largest auto market in the world. Currently, car leasing has a market share of only 10%, offering huge potential for growth in auto rental, leasing and fleet services.”

Pan-China Implementation

White Clarke Group reports a rapid rise in requests for its services in the region, and is currently managing a major new implementation program of its end-to-end technology platform system across China.

Brendan Gleeson goes on to explain, “We believe there is an opportunity to work with Chinese partners to develop our new operation in the People’s Republic into a hub to serve South East Asia.”
