Our Story

In 2022, we rebranded under one unified name: Silverstone Leasing. This merger brings together Silverstone EV, Silverstone Fleet Management, and Embrace Leasing, all trading names of Silverstone Corporation Limited, which Scott Norville initially founded in 2012. 

Scott brought over 25 years of motor trade experience to the table, having worked with brands ranging from Hyundai to BMW. His eight years at Northampton’s leading BMW dealership, Wollaston BMW, gave him valuable insights into the needs of both corporate clients and private individuals. It was here that he kept hearing the same question from customers:

“Can you quote on other brands too?”

Scott knew the answer required something different, a brokerage model that offered flexibility, choice, and outstanding service. With the support of his sister Stacy and the directors at Filtration Control Limited, Scott began his journey from a desk in their Brackmills office, managing their vehicle fleet and building a vision for a better kind of leasing service.

The brand name was a natural fit because it is rooted in Northamptonshire, the home of British motorsport and the iconic Silverstone Circuit.

Despite early doubts from others in the industry, concerns about a crowded market and a lack of trading history, Scott used those challenges as motivation. Silverstone Leasing grew through dedication, long hours, and a relentless focus on customer satisfaction, one happy customer at a time.

In the first year, 50 vehicles were delivered. Fast forward to today, and the team now delivers up to 1,500 vehicles a year across the UK, with continued 25% annual growth year on year. 

The Old Hay Barn

With growth came the need for a new home. 2017 the business relocated to The Old Hay Barn, a beautifully restored barn conversion in Preston Deanery, Northamptonshire. The original barn, dating back to around 1967, had been part of the local countryside for decades. After two years of planning and 12 months of construction, the space was transformed into Silverstone Leasing’s new headquarters.

The team chose to keep the name The Old Hay Barn as a tribute to its heritage, and the build became part of the company’s story. One of Northampton’s leading builders carefully documented and completed every restoration step. It wasn’t easy. It took vision, determination, and a fair amount of blood, sweat, and tears, but the result was a truly special workplace reflecting Silverstone’s quality and care values.

On 4th October 2017, H.M. Lord Lieutenant of Northamptonshire, Mr David Laing, and Councillor Matthew Golby, Leader of Northamptonshire County Council, officially opened the barn.

“Silverstone Leasing have gone above and beyond to not only create a beautiful working environment for their team but also to increase local employment. We’re proud to see this kind of growth and innovation in Northamptonshire.”

— H.M. Lord Lieutenant, Mr David Laing
