Palladian Investment Partners has announced investment in Global Vehicle Group (GVG), a UK B2B leasing broker. Co‑founders Andrew Hurst and Jon Lewis will reinvest alongside Palladian and continue leading the business.

Existing minority shareholder H2 Equity Partners will exit at completion, ending a four‑year partnership. Fleet industry veteran Andrew Cope will join GVG’s board as non‑executive chairman, bringing experience from Zenith and independent leasing.

GVG manages assets over £2.5 billion across van leasing, fleet management, electric car salary sacrifice and car leasing. The deal will allow Palladian to invest in technology, broaden product offerings and capture a larger share of SME van, car and fleet markets.

Financing comes from Arini Capital Management, with advisors Stephens Europe, MDW Capital Advisory and others. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval; financial terms remain undisclosed.
