Paul Stephenson

With almost 40 years in the automotive industry, Paul Stephenson has built a reputation for his extensive knowledge, honest advice, and commitment to outstanding customer service. If you're thinking about leasing your next vehicle, Paul's experience means you're in safe hands.


Paul began his career straight from his family's Supermarket business, where customer service was at the heart of everything they did. His father instilled in him the importance of treating every customer with honesty, respect, and professionalism - values that still define the way he works today.


From there, Paul joined BMW before going on to enjoy a successful career with some of the world's most prestigious automotive brands, including Ferrari, Porsche, Land Rover, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz. Over 25 years in franchised dealerships, he held both sales and management positions, earning numerous awards for his performance and dedication to customer satisfaction.


Before launching his own business 13 years ago, Paul was a Business Development Manager at Mercedes-Benz, working closely with local businesses to provide tailored vehicle leasing solutions. It was this experience that inspired him to become an independent leasing broker, giving customers access to a wider choice of vehicles and the very best leasing deals.


Over the past 13 years, Paul has helped thousands of private and business customers find the right vehicle, with many returning time and again or recommending Paul to family, friends, and colleagues. Those long-standing relationships are something he is incredibly proud of.


Hornet Leasing was Paul's vision from the very beginning, and together with the full support of his wife and business partner, Jayne, they have built a business based on trust, transparency, and exceptional personal service. Paul remains passionate about helping every customer find the perfect vehicle at the right price, making the leasing process simple, straightforward, and enjoyable from start to finish.
