Delegates from White Clarke Group’s (WCG) UK and Australian offices have been presented with a prestigious award during the China Leasing Summit in Beijing. WCG has been awarded the title Most Popular Automotive Finance and Leasing Solution Provider by the Leasing Committee of China Chamber of International Commerce.

Brendan Gleeson, Group Executive Vice President, who accepted the award on behalf of the automotive leasing software company, said, “This is further proof of our leading-edge technology and innovation. It makes me very proud to accept this award on behalf of our committed and hardworking staff.”

The award ceremony has been one of the highlights of an iconic industry event that runs from 19th-21st June in the Swissôtel Beijing, China. Hosted by the Leasing Committee of China Chamber of International Commerce, the conference provides an effective platform on which the delegates can familiarise themselves with the market and government policies and regulations for the China leasing industry.

Partnering a longstanding client, WCG went live with its end-to-end CALMS2 platform this May, supported from the group’s Beijing offices. The highly scalable system is ideal for the Chinese market, which is set to grow exponentially.

The Beijing summit has seen eminent speakers from the government and leading leasing companies sharing their experience and opinions on China’s leasing industry.

Representing WCG, Colin Fleischmann spoke on ‘How to Enhance Your Leasing Business with an Effective IT System’. He said, “Although China is the biggest auto market in the world, currently car leasing has a market share of only 10%. This offers huge potential for growth in auto rental, leasing and fleet services and therefor holds an enormous strategic importance for WCG. We believe the market’s growing maturity will drive demand for more sophisticated solutions.”

Highlights of the China Leasing Summit 2013 include an in-depth analysis of supported policies and regulations regarding the leasing industry, interpretation of the VAT reform pilot program by SAT officials, and an in-depth discussion of liquidity and financing issues that continuously arouse leasing companies’ concerns for the ever-changing economic environment.
