|Synergy Car Leasing is celebrating a significant milestone as it marks its 20th anniversary this year. The Harrogate-based company has acknowledged the dedication of its long-serving employees, who together have amassed over 100 years of combined service. This recognition highlights the loyalty and commitment of the team, which is essential in the vehicle leasing industry.
Long Service Recognition
A total of ten team members have been recognised for their remarkable service, each having worked at Synergy for ten years or more. In fact, these employees have contributed a combined total of 117 years to the company, showcasing the stability and experience within the team. This long-standing dedication is not only a testament to the individual employees but also reflects positively on the company’s work environment and culture.
Celebrating Individual Milestones

Among the notable long-serving employees is Gemma Manning, the client services director, who is proudly celebrating 18 years with Synergy this year. Her extensive experience has likely played a vital role in shaping the company's client relationships and service standards.
Additionally, several other key figures in the company have reached impressive service milestones:
Will Voisey - Managing Director
Jonathan Kyle - Senior Account Manager
Jean Paul Levahn - IT and Technical Services Director
Craig Denison - Sales Account Manager
Collectively, these four individuals have accumulated an impressive 48 years of service, demonstrating their commitment to the company's mission and values.
A Decade of Dedication
In addition to the above, five more employees are celebrating a decade of service at Synergy. They include:
Nicola Ech-Channa - Marketing and Communications Director
Lisa Medd - Senior Account Manager
Karen Lofthouse - Finance Administrator
Daniel Miller - Reporting and Facilities Coordinator
Lucie Almond - Head of Fleet and Business Sales
Each of these employees has contributed significantly to the company's success over the years, bringing their unique skills and expertise to the team.
Importance of Team Loyalty
The long service of these employees is crucial for Synergy Car Leasing as it continues to navigate the competitive vehicle leasing market. Companies that retain their staff often benefit from improved customer service, as experienced employees are more familiar with the company's processes and can provide better support to clients. This stability can lead to stronger relationships with customers, which is vital in a service-driven industry.
As Synergy enters this new chapter, the loyalty of its employees serves as a strong foundation for future growth and success. The company can build on its rich history while looking forward to new opportunities and challenges in the years to come.
The recognition of these long-serving members not only celebrates their individual achievements but also highlights the importance of teamwork and dedication within the company. As Synergy Car Leasing continues to thrive, it is clear that having a committed team will play a significant role in its ongoing success.
As the company moves forward, it remains important for businesses in Yorkshire and beyond to recognise and celebrate the contributions of their employees. Such acknowledgments not only boost morale but also encourage a positive work environment, which can lead to greater overall success.
With a strong team behind it, Synergy Car Leasing is well-positioned to tackle the future head-on, ensuring that it continues to serve its customers with excellence for many more years to come.
