Choose Automobile Leasing bids farewell to co-founder and joint CEO James O’Malley
Impartial automotive and van leasing specialist Choose Automobile Leasing’s co-founder and joint CEO James O’Malley is stepping down after twenty years on the helm.
Based in 2004 by O’Malley and fellow co-founder and CEO Mark Tongue, Choose Automobile Leasing has grown from a small Studying-based start-up to a nationally recognised model with over 120,000 autos leased so far and near 300 workers members throughout 12 websites.
O’Malley performed a pivotal function in shaping the corporate’s success, significantly by means of his contributions to technological innovation and customer support excellence, heading the event of Choose’s buyer relationship administration (CRM) system.
Reflecting on O’Malley’s departure Mark Tongue mentioned: “James’s departure marks the top of an period for the enterprise, as he has been a key a part of Choose Automobile Leasing since its inception in 2004. Over the previous twenty years, James has achieved outstanding milestones and made important contributions to the success of Choose Automobile Leasing.”
Past his contributions to the enterprise, Mr. O’Malley fostered significant group connections. A passionate supporter of Studying FC, he was instrumental in Choose turning into Principal Companions of the membership in 2021. That partnership expanded in 2024 to incorporate sponsorship of the Girls’s First Crew and youth pathways, reflecting his dedication to supporting native sports activities and inclusivity.
“As we bid farewell to James, we wish to lengthen our heartfelt due to him for his co-leadership, imaginative and prescient, and dedication through the years. We want him success and happiness within the subsequent chapter of his journey,” mentioned Tongue.
Shifting ahead, Choose Automobile Leasing will function beneath the management of a single CEO, supported by managing director Graham Conway and monetary director Barry Anderson.
