Former head of asset management at Investec Asset Finance John Lindsay (pictured) has launched a new consultancy practice to the asset finance, leasing, automotive and transport sectors.

Lindsay, whose career across these sectors spans more than 20 years said: “JLSR Limited brings a broad set of skills and experience enabling the company to offer a range of advisory, consultancy and management services from business acquisitions to risk management.

“Due to increased activity across all four sectors in terms of growth, and companies looking to diversify or reassess their current risk policies, JLSR Limited can help businesses to generate income, drive profit & manage risk. Having the required experience, knowledge and passion enables JLSR Limited to get underneath the skin of the market and this enables the business to understand the sectors’ within which it works.

“While in the process of setting the business up I have had a number of very encouraging conversations with businesses across all four sectors so I’m confident that JLSR Limited will be able to grow sustainably, and I’m very excited about what the future holds for the business.”
