Since 1984, GNL has provided industry-leading services to individuals and businesses throughout Ontario, en route to becoming one of the most prominent and largest independent leasing organizations in Canada.
Joe’s two sons, Nick and Peter would spend PA days working at GNL, detailing cars and accompanying their dad on many of his sales visits. These days allowed them to experience the business first-hand and learn how their father approached different scenarios. What they noticed most was the attention that he paid to his clients. He always had time to listen to them and was never in a rush – be it via phone or in person. Joe understood that this was a people business and that cars and financing/leasing was just the means in connecting these relationships.
The detailing part of the business played a big role in Nick and Peter’s passion and knowledge of the automotive sector. They got to know the vehicles intimately. They learned the makes, models and options, and translated this knowledge into a better understanding of what these things meant to people.
Nick and Peter both started in the clean up department when school would allow. Nick would work a few days in the shop and a few days in the office per week. Nicks path was a little different than Peters as their father allowed each of his kids to choose their studies and apply it to the company’s growth. Peter focussed on the marketing and systems.
