PEAC Solutions received the 2023 Distribution Channel Management Champion Award from Leasing Life, a European leasing industry journal, during the 20th Leasing Life Conference & Awards event in Budapest, Hungary. During the same event, Bill Stephenson, CEO of PEAC Solutions, was inducted into the Leasing Life Hall of Fame in recognition of his many contributions to the leasing industry.

Delivering Added Value to Channel Partners

PEAC Solutions received the Distribution Channel Management Champion Award for its engagement with business technology provider Konica-Minolta Business Solutions UK. The award recognizes an asset finance lessor that is providing best-in-class products and services that cover the entire value chain and support business growth.

The Leasing Life awards jury said, “The ability to properly engage, integrate and support a distribution channel is a key success factor, particularly within OEM programs where sales are largely done through indirect channels. The jury considered a variety of elements, including online capabilities, integrated digital tools, valued-added products and marketing support programs, which have contributed to business growth and increased satisfaction for all parties. Within that context, the entry put forth by PEAC Solutions provided clear evidence and testimonials to merit their recognition for this award.”

“We are delighted to receive this award from Leasing Life, which not only recognizes the value-added products and services of PEAC Solutions but also our long-standing collaboration with Konica-Minolta and their many dealers and customers in the UK,” Alexia Mann, divisional head of sales at PEAC Solutions UK, who accepted the award, said. “This award is possible because they continue to place their trust and business with PEAC Solutions.”

Stephenson Inducted into Leasing Life Hall of Fame

Stephenson was honored as the inaugural inductee to the Leasing Life Hall of Fame for his many contributions to helping build and shape the international leasing industry. In delivering this award to Stephenson, the awards jury said, “As the inaugural inductee to the Leasing Life Hall of Fame, we are celebrating an inspirational individual who has successfully steered companies, mentored numerous colleagues, many of whom are industry leaders today, and provided strategic leadership and vision to our industry for almost 40 years.”

“It is a privilege to be the inaugural inductee into the Hall of Fame,” Stephenson said. “I want to thank Leasing Life, but more importantly, I want to thank the many people who played a role in inspiring me over the course of my career. I have worked with several talented professionals who took the time to share their knowledge, provide guidance and make a real difference in my life. It has always been my personal goal to reciprocate that experience, giving back to our industry and to my colleagues and customers. This is an incredible journey that I look forward to continuing in the years ahead.”
