Positive experience
Very helpful during initial onboarding and throughout the lease term, especially during a period of upheaval for my business.
There were some initial communication issues but when these were raised the response was quick and Luke went above and beyond to put everything right in a very short timeframe. Very helpful.

Charlie Craddock and Lauren Berwick from Shire Leasing have been fantastic in helping me finance my business expansion. Would thoroughly recommend Shire Leasing and their service has been amazing.

BE VERY WARY
I have been paying for a service we do not receive for over 12 months. We do not have the leased equipment anymore and haven't for over a year as it was not fit for purpose. Despite numerous e-mails, calls they are still charging, cost now upwards of £3k for absolutely nothing. Scam or not it is totally unethical. Don't use this company for anything unless you have money just to throw away.

Be Aware….Avoid…..Borderline scam company….I’ve had to start process of suing this company for harassment and I urge everyone to do the same…
An amount was agreed for finance, month to month payments going as normal, all of a sudden an insurance premium got added that I never signed for nor agreed to.
The direct debit increased by 25% without my knowledge. The direct debit got stopped (from their side) as we queried it. Two months payment missed, which I said I would pay along with restarting the direct debit as long as the insurance premium was deleted as my own insurance covers the equipment. They refused this and now taking me to court for £348 arrears, return of the equipment AND the remaining £3700 owed. If any sheriff/judge accepts this into
their court never mind grant the order then i would be shocked. The equipment is integrated into the building work so would mean tearing down four interior rooms.
The customer service alone is red flags and i seriously wish I done my research into this company.
I never write reviews when I get bad service but this has got to be told.
This is a warning to anyone planning on using this company. I’ve been to hell and not yet back with it all. I’m not putting a review up because they annoyed me or just to give them a bad name. I’m putting a review up to warn anyone. Trust me. Avoid….Avoid….Avoid….

This company provides finance for Frozen Brothers Ltd. Whether the supplied goods are working or not they take no responsibility for providing a working product. The supplier is notoriously corrupt and does not provide the services required.
Currently going to court because shire want payment for goods that are in possession of the supplier. Furthermore have set up the contract in the incorrect name.

Efficient service and helped me secure an excellent deal with deferred payments to help support my business at a crucial time in expansion.

Look out for the hidden charges
Avoid this company at all costs.
There are hidden costs everywhere in the contract I had for mobile phones through ICE Comms, so check the small print very carefully
They charged me over £60 per month insurance which was not mentioned when I signed my contract !!
As well as additional payments at the end if you want to actually keep your phone.
Do Not Trust This Company !!

Harassment - beware
A direct debit was missed 3 working days ago. Shire Leasing tracked down my daughter through social media (who has no connection to the business), found out her work mobile and left a message saying that she needed to get her mother to call them. Harassment and completely unacceptable.
