White Clarke Group wins special award in memory of Dara Clarke

The ceremony took place in London where over 200 guests gathered at the LeasingWorld awards night in October.

Among the awards were several categories that hinge on special recognition or a specific event that occurred during the year that was felt to be worthy of an award.

The Contribution to the Leasing Industry award went to White Clarke Group, with a special mention of co-founder Dara Clarke who sadly passed away earlier this year.

White Clarke Group started out as a modest firm supplying leasing software packages some 22 years ago, and has grown into an international group spanning Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, employing over 500 staff.

The group chairman and co-founder, Dr Ed White, mounted the podium to accept the award and gave a short address to the attendees: “I am very pleased to receive this award from Lord Mitchell, who introduced me to the leasing industry at United Leasing.”

Afterwards, he said privately, “If Dara had been here he would have partied all night to celebrate this award.”
