Lucy Joyce
Managing Director
I've been working in the leasing industry for 20 years of experience across all aspects of the business.
My role involves overseeing the day-to-day operations of the company, covering everything from accounts, administration, sales, compliance, and HR. I take pride in ensuring our customers receive exceptional service while supporting the continued growth and success of Applied Leasing.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and our two children, as well as getting out and about with our Staffy, who is a much-loved member of the family.
Kian Cheshire
Sales and Marketing Manager
I've spent the last 10 years working in sales and marketing, helping businesses grow, building strong customer relationships, and delivering marketing strategies that make a real difference. I enjoy getting to know our customers, understanding their needs, and finding the right solutions while making the whole experience as straightforward and enjoyable as possible.
Outside of work, I'm a lifelong Arsenal supporter, with Thierry Henry firmly holding the title of my all-time favourite player.
Music has always been a huge passion of mine, and I've been DJing for over eight years. Whether it's House, Drum & Bass, Bassline, or Techno, I love creating the right atmosphere and seeing people enjoy themselves. It's a hobby that allows me to be creative, meet new people, and unwind away from the office.
I'm also a keen home cook and enjoy experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. Whether I'm trying something completely new or perfecting an old favourite, I love the challenge of creating great food to share with family and friends.
Most importantly, spending quality time with my family is something I truly value. Whether it's relaxing at home, enjoying days out, or simply making memories together, family will always come first.
Pet peeve: People eating with their mouth open.
If you ever want to chat about leasing, football, music, or swap a good recipe, I'm always happy to help.

Richard Beadle
Senior Commercial & Sales | Applied Leasing Ltd
I've spent over 30 years working in vehicle and asset finance, leasing, and fleet management, and I still genuinely enjoy helping businesses find the right funding solutions. At Applied Leasing, I focus on building long-term relationships with customers, developing commercial opportunities, and providing straightforward, honest advice backed by decades of industry experience.
My CV doesn't read quite like everyone else's. While I was studying, I worked as a pea sampler—a job that's required more explanation over the years than I'd care to admit. (For the avoidance of doubt, it involved peas, not what you're probably thinking!) I can also say I was once a stand-in for the Milkybar Kid. Unfortunately, fame, fortune, and a lifetime supply of white chocolate never followed, but I still think I looked the part.
These days, I bring the same good humour, resilience, and willingness to take on new challenges to everything I do—just with fewer legumes and considerably less cowboy-related disappointment.
Outside of work, I'm a huge football fan and enjoy walking, spending time with family, friends, and my pets, and making the most of a bit of sunshine outside my local pub. I also love spending time with my adult children—although I'd appreciate it if they didn't notice they weren't first on this list!
Pet peeve: Spam letters… especially as I don't even eat Spam.
One final thing—I'll happily let you decide which parts of my biography are completely true and which may have been polished ever so slightly for dramatic effect!

Michelle Grant
Senior Sales Executive | Applied Leasing Ltd
I have worked in the motor industry for over 30 years, helping customers find the right vehicle and finance solutions to suit their individual needs. While I've spent my career in car sales, I have to admit I don't actually have much interest in cars—I much prefer football and am a huge Leeds United fan!
The best part of my job is building genuine relationships with customers. No two clients are the same, so I enjoy taking the time to understand their requirements and finding the best deal that fits their lifestyle and budget. Providing excellent customer service and making the leasing process simple and enjoyable is what motivates me every day.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our dog at our beautiful home in the countryside. Family is incredibly important to me, and I also love catching up with my three wonderful sisters and my four amazing nieces and nephews whenever I can.
If you'd like to discuss your next vehicle, I'd be delighted to help.

I work in marketing, compliance, and executive support at Applied Leasing, bringing over 20 years of experience from my previous career as a mechanic. Having been in the leasing industry for nearly two years, I combine a practical, hands-on approach with strong organisational and problem-solving skills.
Outside of work, I still enjoy getting involved in projects and working with my hands.
