We are delighted to feature Summit Drive who are the main sponsors of Ladies Lunch taking place this Friday at the Hilton in Hull. To learn more about Summit Drive and their commitment to the community we are pleased to feature the article below.

Following the remarkable success of Summit Vans, which took the market by storm upon its launch in April 2022, Summit Drive emerged as the car counterpart in late 2023, poised to disrupt the leasing industry in the Hull and East Yorkshire area. Recognising a significant gap in the market for high-quality car leasing services with a focus on exceptional customer service, Summit Drive set out to redefine the traditional dealership experience.

Drawing upon their extensive expertise in the car leasing market, accumulated over 22 years through their associated company, Motorlease, Summit Drive leverages strong relationships with manufacturers and dealers to offer unparalleled deals on a wide range of vehicles. While specialising in renowned brands such as VW, Audi, Skoda and Ford, Summit Drive stands out for its ability to procure virtually any make or model, ensuring clients have access to their desired vehicles.

What sets Summit Drive apart is its commitment to doing things differently. Straying from the conventional dealership model, Summit Drive prioritises building lasting relationships with customers, offering a dynamic and personalised experience. With a dedicated team that prides itself on professionalism and a friendly approach, Summit Drive ensures that every client receives top-notch service, whether they’re ordering a vehicle or just seeking some expert advice.

Since its inception, Summit Drive & Vans has rapidly garnered acclaim, accumulating nearly 200 five-star reviews. The Group’s growth has been nothing short of remarkable, expanding its team from under 10 members to over 30 in less than two years. Outgrowing its original premises, the Summit Group now operates from three locations in Melton, symbolising its growing success.

However, beyond business success, Summit Drive is deeply committed to supporting the local community. As a testament to this commitment, Summit Drive proudly serves as the main sponsor for the inaugural Ladies Lunch organised by the Sailor’s Children’s Society and HEY Smile Foundation, on Friday 15th March.

The Ladies Lunch represents a unique opportunity to celebrate women, empowerment, and community engagement. For Summit Drive, supporting the Ladies Lunch isn’t just about philanthropy — it’s about championing diversity and empowering women in business, a cause close to the company’s heart. With nearly 40% of its workforce comprising females, a remarkable statistic within the motor industry, Summit Drive stands as a beacon of inclusivity and gender equality, setting a precedent for the broader business community to emulate.

Annabel Walker, Operations Director of Summit Drive, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled to be a main sponsor of the inaugural Ladies Lunch. This is a one-of-a-kind event in the region, and we wanted to back it from its inception to help it grow year on year. We know the work of Sailors’ Children’s Society and the Smile Foundation makes a huge difference in people’s lives across the region and to be able to promote women in business at the same time is an absolute honour.”

Summit Drive demonstrates further dedication to the local community through its sponsorship of the local Super League team, Hull FC. By backing local sports, Summit Drive reinforces its commitment to fostering community spirit and supporting initiatives that enrich the lives of residents in Hull and beyond.

As Summit Drive looks toward the future, it remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering excellence in car leasing while continuing to make a positive impact in the local community. Through initiatives like the Ladies Lunch, Summit Drive embodies the spirit of corporate social responsibility, demonstrating that success is not only measured in profits but also in the difference one makes in the lives of others.
