Our Awards
For more than 60 years, ALD Automotive and LeasePlan UK were award-winning mobility and leasing providers.
Now that we have come together as Ayvens, we have combined this highly regarded expertise and it is already being recognised by the industry. In 2024, Ayvens received the award for Fleet News Reader Recommended as well as the Business Van Award for Best Van Leasing Company and receiving the WhatVan? Award for the fifth consecutive year, something no other company has achieved since the start of the awards programme.
This recognition has not slowed us down. We are continually striving to be better with every move so we can ensure our services meet our customers’ needs.
