Shire Leasing has announced the successful renewal of its two-year contract with Cover Group, marking the company’s third consecutive partnership term following a competitive tender process.

The renewed agreement ensures that Cover Group members can continue offering flexible finance solutions to their customers, enabling UK businesses to access commercial vending machines, coffee machines, water coolers, and other essential equipment in a cost-effective way.

“I’m proud to continue our long-standing relationship with Cover Group,” said Dan MacKrell, Joint Head of Vendor at Shire Leasing.
