Masterlease is searching for potential buyers for its car supermarket group, Carland.

The decision was made after the vehicle management company reviewed its business.

“The Masterlease Group is focused on delivering long-term growth and we are concentrating our investment in core business areas where market demand is highest and where our parenting skills can best be applied,” said Nick Browning, Masterlease Group chief executive.

Carland has showrooms in Glasgow, Manchester, Cannock in Staffordshire, Enfield in Middlesex, Chertsey in London and Lakeside in Essex.
