Global Vans awarded BNP Paribas ELS Partner of the Year

March 11th, 2026

With 2026 off to a flying start, Global Vans are delighted to have been awarded ELS Partner of the Year in the inaugural BNP Paribas Partner Excellence Awards 2025.

Alongside esteemed partners and broker colleagues Global Vans were welcomed at the BNP Paribas headquarters in Marylebone last week in an event celebrating excellence through collaboration. In addition to the awards presentations, the event boasted inspirational words from key speaker Olympic gold medal winner Helen Glover

Global Vans have worked in partnership with BNP for over 20 years. We are thrilled to have been recognised for our dedication to supporting businesses across the country. Working with our customers to source the right vehicles and tailored funding agreements for their business, no matter the size of their fleet.

Collecting the award for Global Vans on the night, our Director, Jon Lewis, said:

“Winning ELS Partner of the Year is a fantastic endorsement of our team and the way we work with customers and partners. We’re proud to be recognised by BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions and we look forward to building on this momentum through 2026.”

Karma Wall, Area Sales Manager for BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, has worked closely with Global Vans for several years and is a familiar face in our Bristol HQ. Speaking on the awards, she added:

“It was a pleasure to host Global Vans and thrilled that they won the ELS Partner of the Year award. To work so closely with a business of this calibre is hugely rewarding.”

In the last few years Global Vans have been growing! Bringing together XLCR Vehicle Management, The LCV Group, and most recently Fleet Alliance – forming the Global Vehicle Group. As a group we have benefitted vastly from shared knowledge of best practice, insight into process efficiencies, and enhanced technology. Not to mention increased buying power which has allowed us to pass greater discounts to our customers.

It is our goal to ensure we are more than a leasing broker, becoming a one-stop shop for all requirements of our LCV customers. With offices in South Bristol, North London and Cardiff, we are still growing every day – we’re excited for what the future holds for Global Vans as we strive to be better, do more, and importantly, keep the customer at the heart of everything we do.
