PRESS RELEASE

PRESS RELEASE https://wvl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Press-Release.jpg 627 114 Anthony Anthony https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0ce9a76712b2ebb44190c51857fae37600a61d6fe57138c94dce31a727aa27ec?s=96&d=mm&r=g

We are pleased to announce that as of 22nd October 2025, URA Ventures Limited trading as GKL Leasing has acquired Total Motion Limited (TML). This will be in the form of a partnership between 2 successful family businesses with both benefiting from the best practices of each and the added strength of the whole. Both businesses will continue to focus upon customer relationships and further improving our offer and service.

Overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority who authorise both companies in respect of regulated activities, the merger takes the form of GKL Leasing acquiring 100% of the shares in TML.

TML was founded by Simon and Caroline Hill in 2003 and grew rapidly into a dynamic and well respected business, more recently including the Pink Car Leasing brand.
GKL directors regard the current TML management as outstanding and are delighted that both Claire Timms and Fraser Hill will continue to manage the business and maintain old and new customer relationships.
James and Anthony Kenning, the ultimate beneficial owners of GKL Leasing are the fifth generation of a line of business that was started as long ago as 1878, notably built anew by Richard Kenning since 1987.
Richard Kenning remains on the Board of GKL Leasing as Non-Executive Chairman. Richard and the Directors would like to take this opportunity to recognise the great contribution made by their 3 senior managers who have been with the business for many years, Simon Blake ACA, John Stevenson and Tim Norton.
For the initial period the combined businesses will ultimately be managed by Robert Sayers FCA and long standing director of GKL Leasing, as Interim Group Managing Director, with close support from the Board of Directors.

We believe that the transaction is a great opportunity for both businesses and for their staff and customers.

New Mercedes GLC

New Mercedes GLC https://wvl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/glc-black.png 539 308 Anthony Anthony https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0ce9a76712b2ebb44190c51857fae37600a61d6fe57138c94dce31a727aa27ec?s=96&d=mm&r=g

The all-new electric GLC combines premium SUV practicality, impressive performance and cutting edge EV technology, positioning it as a strong rival to the BMW iX3, Audi Q6 e-tron, and Tesla Model Y.

Model Lines: Sport, AMG Line, AMG Line Premium, AMG Line Premium Plus, Premier Edition

Battery & Range: A battery capacity of 94 kWh gives a WLTP range of up to 406 miles

Charging: Thanks to the 800 volt electrical system, DC charging rates reach up to 330 kW which allows charging up to 172 miles in just 10 minutes.

Performance: The GLC 400 4MATIC dual‑motor produces 489 bhp, accelerates 0-62mph in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 130mph.

Practicality: Compared to the current ICE GLC, the wheelbase is longer, the legroom and headroom are improved, the boot has a 570 litre capacity (up to 1740 litres with the seats folded) and there’s also 128 litre front trunk.

Interior & Tech: Inside you can find the new seamless MBUX Hyperscreen (AMG Line Premium, AMG Line Premium Plus, Premier Edition). It’s a 39.1” full-width display with Zone-dimming and Matrix-backlight technology.

Design: While it’s recognisably a GLC, the electric version introduces new visual cues such as a bold illuminated “Iconic Grille”, updated lighting signatures, and a new design language to signal the shift to electric.

The existing GLC model has been one of Mercedes’ best-selling SUVs, so electrifying this series is a major step in the company’s EV strategy. Production starts March 2026 with deliveries expected Q2 2026.

Balancing efficiency with power, the new Tesla Model Y Performance boasts 460PS and acceleration of 0-62mph in just 3.3 seconds, all while delivering an impressive 360-mile WLTP range.

The updated front and rear bumpers, carbon fiber splitter and spoiler, and bold 21-inch Arachnid 2.0 alloys give it a dominant presence and refined appearance. The front suspension geometry has also been altered to minimise disturbances from road imperfections and provide more predictable steering.

Inside, Tesla introduces new performance seats with enhanced side cushions, bolsters, and adjustable thigh support for a more dynamic driving feel along with sleek carbon fiber interior trims. The new 16-inch First-Row QHD touchscreen display is also said to be Tesla’s ‘highest-resolution’ panel yet.

Advisory Electric Rate (AER) news from BVRLA

Advisory Electric Rate (AER) news from BVRLA https://wvl.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/shutterstock_2440569545-1.jpg 8500 4500 Abi Badrick Abi Badrick https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3190b54eafd839dd18a4f5f14aac51591c86c58746dc51259149901ee41b21b8?s=96&d=mm&r=g

From 1st September, the Advisory Electric Rate (AER) for business travel reimbursement on fully electric cars will be spilt to acknowledge the cost gap between the public and private electric vehicle charging networks.

  • 8p per mile for home charging
  • 14p per mile for public charging

The BVRLA have been pushing for this acknowledgement since 2021 and Thomas McLennan, the BVRLA Director of Policy & Public Affairs, said: “Focus now turns to a ‘rapid charging’ rate as the current rate is not reflective of what many drivers will be experiencing”

The AER falls under the same review cycle as the Advisory Fuel Rates (AFR), which will see two small changes implemented from 1st September.

Diesel vehicles with engines 1600cc or less will increase by one pence to 12ppm. Those with engines over 2000cc will also increase by one pence, to 18ppm.
