Lex Autolease
[3] The company can trace its origins back to 1959, when both Lex and Autolease were established.Lex was established in the 1920s and in 1959 it acquired British Colonial Motors, which allowed it to enter the contract hire business.[4] Through mergers, a company called Lex Vehicle Leasing emerged.[10] In the first decade of the 21st century, Lex lost a number of large contracts such as HSBC Vehicle Finance, Ford Business Partner and Volvo.[11][12][13] In 2014, Lex opened a new multi-million pound car supermarket and vehicle processing centre in Coventry, which created 30 jobs.
