Lex Autolease is the UK’s largest fleet funding and management specialist. Lex Autolease has embarked on a long-term partnership with The National Forest Company. It will support the planting of new woodlands and over 115,000 trees will be planted.

Mark Chessman, Commercial Director of Lex Autolease, who lives in Swepstone within The National Forest boundary, comments:
“We’re really delighted to be able to continue this fantastic partnership. We take the environment very seriously and encourage our customers to do the right thing by reducing their carbon footprints rather than just paying money to offset them. However, we wanted to make our own contribution, as a business. This collaboration allows us to make our own investment in the environment and the British landscape.”

Sophie Churchill, Chief Executive of the National Forest Company, adds:
“We are delighted that The National Forest is the chosen beneficiary of this substantial environmental investment by Lex Autolease. The NFC is always pleased to work with companies which recognise the environmental impact of their operations; planting in The National Forest is a great way of expressing this green commitment. The woodland sites supported by Lex Autolease are in the central former coalfield area of the Forest, some of which has already been transformed: however the creation of The National Forest is by no means complete and this investment will be a great asset for us. I hope that employees and customers of the company will be active supporters and we look forward to further collaboration.”
