Reaching eight years with one company is a milestone that speaks volumes, not just about loyalty, but about impact, growth, and the people behind the journey. Today, we are proud to celebrate Joe Francis, who marks eight incredible years as part of the Silverstone and Embrace Leasing family.
When Joe first joined the business, Silverstone Leasing was already building a reputation for honest advice, personal service, and industry-leading leasing expertise. Over the past eight years, Joe hasn’t simply grown alongside the company — he has helped shape what it has become. Through dedication, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to customers, he progressed into a leadership role within Embrace Leasing, guiding both colleagues and customers through every stage of the leasing journey. His approach has always been straightforward: work hard, support the team, and deliver for the customer, every single day. This consistency is what has made him such an important part of the business.
Joe’s influence extends far beyond his own results. As a Team Leader, he plays a vital role in supporting and mentoring the Embrace Leasing sales team, driving performance and customer satisfaction, maintaining the high standards associated with the Silverstone name, and helping create a positive, energetic culture across the office. Whether assisting a colleague in closing a deal, resolving a complex customer query, or ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, Joe leads by example. And yes, he has also become known for celebrating success loudly, chasing results relentlessly, and looking after his customers as if they were his own — qualities that perfectly reflect the spirit of the team around him.
Joe’s eight-year journey mirrors the wider growth of Silverstone Leasing and Embrace Leasing. During this time, the business has expanded nationwide across personal and business leasing, strengthened partnerships with major funders and manufacturers, enhanced compliance and transparency, and continued to deliver on its mission of “Leasing Simplified. Service Personalised.” Team members like Joe are the reason this progress has been possible, not only because of what they do, but because of how they do it — with integrity, energy, and genuine pride in the Silverstone name.
One of the defining things about Joe is that he is more than just a colleague; he is part of the family culture that makes Silverstone unique. From team celebrations and charity initiatives to major milestones such as Silverstone Soccer, Joe has been present for the moments that truly matter, helping build the community spirit that sits at the heart of the business. At Silverstone, success is not measured only in orders or figures, but in people, relationships, and shared journeys, and Joe embodies that philosophy every day.
Joe, eight years is an outstanding achievement, and everyone across Silverstone and Embrace Leasing is proud to celebrate it with you. Thank you for your leadership, your commitment, your energy, and everything you bring to the team each day. The journey so far has been remarkable, and the next chapter is only just beginning. Happy eight-year anniversary.
