We’ve had the privilege of working with Bradden Mitchell, an esteemed educator with over 30 years of experience, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding partnership.
From his first vehicle lease to now his sixth, Bradden’s journey with us has been a testament to the lasting impact of trust, knowledge and exceptional customer service.
Bradden’s story with us began with his very first lease around 2011, a Nissan Navara, which was personally delivered by our now CEO Frank Agostino. What makes this connection special is that Frank and Bradden share a history that goes beyond business – they’ve crossed paths through football, having both been involved in coaching. This history provided Bradden with a sense of confidence in our company’s values and made him feel right at home from the start.
As their friendship grew, Bradden came to appreciate Frank’s deep understanding of Novated Leasing, especially when it came to the financial benefits it offers. The trade-in options proved to be a game-changer for Bradden. He quickly discovered that by leasing with us, he was able to put money back in his pocket every time he traded in for a new vehicle – a huge financial win.
Recently, Bradden made the decision to switch to a Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), his sixth Novated Lease with Fleet Network! Although he had been content with his Pajero Sport, the financial benefits of the Outlander PHEV, including pre-tax deductions, made it an irresistible choice.
There are currently some great options across Electric Vehicle (EV) categories that qualify for the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemption, including some PHEV options (which are only exempt from FBT until 1 April 2025).
Living in an apartment complex in Mandurah with his partner, Bradden doesn’t have access to a home charging station. However, they’ve turned this into a fun and innovative solution. They now ride their newly purchased electric scooters down to the foreshore to charge the Outlander, making the most of their time by enjoying a leisurely visit to the pub while the car recharges. It’s a unique and enjoyable way to manage their charging needs while living in a city environment.
After decades of hard work in education, Bradden is currently enjoying some well-deserved long service leave. This break allows him to relax, recharge, and spend quality time with his family. When he’s not unwinding at home, Bradden is an avid golfer, boasting a four-handicap at Meadow Springs Golf Club, where his son also works on the greens. Whether it’s perfecting his swing or simply enjoying some down time with loved ones, Bradden knows how to make the most of his time off.
What truly stands out in our partnership with Bradden is his appreciation for the level of customer service we provide. Bradden values our commitment to being readily available, offering clear, knowledgeable answers to any questions he has, and ensuring his leasing experience is as smooth as possible. Our team takes great pride in being responsive, patient, and dedicated to delivering a top-notch customer experience, and Bradden’s trust in us has only reinforced the importance of this approach.
His satisfaction with the novated leasing process has been incredibly rewarding for our team. From the initial lease to his latest upgrade, Bradden’s journey with us is a perfect example of how a customer-first mindset can make a lasting impact.
We’re proud to have been part of Bradden’s journey and look forward to continuing to support him with his vehicle leasing needs for years to come. His loyalty and trust in our services have been incredibly rewarding, and we are excited to continue helping him make the best financial decisions when it comes to his vehicle leasing needs.
Bradden’s story is not just one of smart Novated Leasing choices, but also a reflection of the lasting partnerships that are built on mutual respect, trust, and shared values. We are honoured to have worked with him all these years.
