Landmark Finance provides tailored finance solutions for the unique challenges faced by the sector. Director Andrew Cartwright talks us through its products suite85 years of experienceMeeting individual needsSupporting client growth

As the industry emerges from these challenges, operators require innovative solutions. One of the most significant obstacles is finding the right finance provider and finance solution to meet their unique needs. That’s where suppliers such as Landmark Finance come in.

85 years of experience

A nationwide independent finance broker, Landmark offers a complete suite of finance products specifically designed to assist coach and bus operators. With over 85 years of combined experience in the industry, Landmark has a proven track record of working with all kinds of companies, from new start-ups to longstanding and multi-generation operators. With its diverse funding panel, it has also been able to work with funders to minimise the impact felt by operators, and stabilise and reduce rates.

Landmark’s three Directors – Andrew Cartwright, Paul Horsfield and Paula Timmins – all work within the coach and bus sector. “We believe we have built an unrivalled service, specifically tailored to this diverse sector,” says Andrew. “Using our vast experience and knowledge within coach and bus, we can solely concentrate on finding the best solution for each client.”

Landmark Finance’s finance products include hire purchase, finance lease, operating lease, unsecured business loans, commercial mortgages, refinance, and tax funding.

In addition to traditional funding for coaches, buses, and minibuses, Landmark Finance also offers funding solutions for garage equipment, machinery, cars, as well as a ‘soft asset’ solution that covers items such as IT equipment, ticket machines, and tachograph systems.

Meeting individual needs

As a fully independent and FCA-regulated finance broker, Landmark works with a large and diverse funding panel to match the best product or finance solution to each individual client’s requirements. These range from specific requests around seasonal payments to building an agreement which includes multiple suppliers (such as for the conversion of vehicles).

“With our long-standing experience, we know that each client and agreement is as individual as their business is,” says Andrew. “Each and every client or agreement will have complete access throughout the whole life of any agreement to a dedicated contact. We pride ourselves on this being available on a 24/7 basis as and when operators require us.”

Andrew says Landmark’s focus on building strong relationships with clients and providing a bespoke service tailored to each business is what sets it apart from competitors. “We know that each client/vehicle/finance agreement is as unique as that operator’s business is; each business with its own requests and challenges,” he adds. “By offering a fully independent broker service, working alongside our funding partners we ensure that these requests and challenges are met on each agreement. The coach and bus sector is unique in its challenges, and it’s vitally important from the outset that we meet these when providing a finance solution.”

Supporting client growth

In addition to providing finance solutions, Landmark Finance also supports its clients’ growth ambitions through other means. “With access to a complete finance product offering across a large panel of funders, Landmark is confident that we have a solution for all businesses,” says Andrew. “Whether it is to fund a single vehicle on a new contract, a fleet update to meet industry compliance or a business loan for a capital injection to the business or to assist in vehicle upgrades to your company. Our asset finance and full business funding solutions ensure we can meet any growth requirements that a client may have.”

As the coach and bus industry continues to evolve and grow, finding the right finance provider and finance solution will be more critical than ever. With its vast experience, tailored service, and diverse product offering, Landmark Finance says it is a trusted partner for operators looking to navigate these challenges and achieve their growth ambitions.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
