Hello,
I am Ling!
I'm the UK's hardest working car leasing provider, and I run Ling's Cars, the UK's favourite car leasing website.
Don't be deceived... I may be a scruffy Chinese girl, but I have more happy new-car customers and supply more new cars than many of the anonymous (and some big-name!) leasing companies out there, combined.
2008 = £35million of new cars at retail price.
I grew up in China, did my middle school and managed to go to uni in Jinan (Guanzhou) and did Applied Chemistry at BSc level. I was punished in uni because I wouldn't do the morning PE regime. Then I went to Finland because it offered free MSc courses.
I arrived in Finland alone with very basic English and stood crying when I arrived at Helsinki airport in January 1997, but survived. I studied wood chemistry (in Finnish!) but flunked it - what a surprise! After marrying Jon and battling with the UK Home Office to come to the UK, I did my Master's in Environmental Quality in the UK at Bournemouth.
It was hard, as my English wasn't brilliant at that time.
I learned a lot about data and information processing and efficient use of tools, and I use these skills in LingsCars.com, if that doesn't sound too ridiculous. It's quite true.
I treat customers like adults, not like idiots.
