LONDON, 8 June 2026 – INEOS Automotive has partnered with Lloyds Banking Group, who assumed responsibility for INEOS Automotive Financial Services across the UK on June 1st 2026.
The new alliance will expand support for business owners and retail customers purchasing Grenadier and Quartermaster across the region, with Black Horse handling retail financing and LEX Autolease covering Contract Hire.

We have very ambitious growth plans for the UK. Alongside enhancing our financial offering and back-office support, we’re on strong footing to expand our retail network with new sales and service points in the coming months, further improving every part of buying and owning an INEOS Grenadier.”

ABOUT INEOS AUTOMOTIVE
In 2017, INEOS Chairman Jim Ratcliffe, a car enthusiast and experienced adventurer, identified a gap in the market for an uncompromising 4X4 engineered for modern day compliance and reliability. INEOS Automotive Limited was formed and a senior team of automotive professionals assembled to bring the vision to reality with a fresh perspective of 4X4 development and manufacturing.
In 2022 the INEOS Grenadier was launched: a truly global 4X4 built from the ground up that combines rugged British spirit and design with German engineering rigour. The Grenadier provides best-in-class off-road capability, durability, and reliability with the modern comfort and refinement customers expect wherever they are in the world. In 2023 a double-cab pick-up variant of the Grenadier was launched called the Quartermaster.
