Rivervale

Based in Brighton, Rivervale is the UK’s first car-leasing dealership, offering a wide range of services for cars, vans and minibuses, including servicing, MOTs, part exchange and electric vehicle (EV) support.

As you might expect from an environmentally-conscious car business, the majority of Rivervale’s company fleet is electric, with EV charge points on its premises for both staff and customers. And for every sale of an EV vehicle, the company plants a tree in partnership with eForests.

Rivervale’s showroom on Victoria Road in Portslade has been built to BREEAM specification, which means it’s been developed with carbon reduction and responsible resource use in mind – an achievement that has earned the company ethy’s Energy Efficient eco-label. The company has also launched a comprehensive recycling initiative and supplies all staff with uniforms made from organic fibres.

The company has also earned ethy recognition for its charitable contributions. As well as supporting staff wellbeing through its partnership with mental health charity BEN, Rivervale plays an active role in its community and supports a number of local charities including the Love Local Jobs Foundation and Rockinghorse Children’s Charity, which funds vital medical equipment and support to improve life for sick children in Sussex.
