  • Lex Autolease Limited Annual Report
    Lex Autolease Limited Report and Accounts 2020 Member of Lloyds Banking Group Strategic report For the year ended 31 December 2020 The directors present their Strategic report of Lex Autolease Limited (the "Company") for the year ended 31 December 2020. Business overview The principal activities of the Company are vehicle contract hire and the provision of motor vehicles under credit sale, contract purchase and finance lease agreements. The directors consider the level of new business written in the year to be satisfactory under the circumstances where the COVID-19 pandemic caused considerable disruption to the delivery and collection of vehicles and to the use made of vehicles supplied to customers during the national lockdowns. The Company has supported customers experiencing financial difficulty through this period of economic uncertainty offering tailored payment holidays for customers in financial difficulty. In response to the worsening economic climate caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the credit impairment provision increased by £9,432,000 from £10,864,000 as at 31 December 2019 to £20,296,000 as at 31 December 2020, in anticipation of a fall in used car prices. In 2020, the Company as part of Lloyds Banking Group ("the Group"), signed a 5 year agreement, effective from January 2021, to continue the strategic relationship with Jaguar Land Rover, which for the Company secures the supply of up to 6,000 vehicles annually under the Jaguar Land Rover branded contract hire product. Additionally the Company’s investment programme continued to transform and digitise the customer journey, creating a more efficient experience for customers and facilitating cost savings for the Company.
