Andy Bell is the Managing Director of First Vehicle Leasing.
Hailing from farming stock just north of Glasgow, Andy spent his formative years trying a number of jobs, including chauffeur and driving instructor, before landing in the motor industry as a retail salesman. After taking a job with a local Contract Hire company, he decided he could do it better himself and, in 1999 founded First Vehicle Leasing with his friend and business partner, Harry Kennedy.
Andy and Harry grew FVL into one of the premier leasing brokers in the UK. Andy’s foresight, passion and industry acumen meant that FVL were at the forefront of many industry leading developments, and he has always been obsessed with technology and systems.
Andy was lured away to run Tilsun Leasing in 2019 and, in 2023, First Vehicle Leasing was bought by the owners of Tilsun Leasing who merged the two together to become the First Vehicle Leasing we know today. Andy lives in Glasgow with his wife, has 4 grown up children and a dog called Elvis.
