On 20 January 2010 HSBC Rail, a UK rolling stock leasing business owned by HSBC, announced that it will operate under the Eversholt Rail Group brand.
The business will be separating its maintenance, asset management and advisory services into different legal entities. Mary Kenny, chief executive officer, said, ³The restructuring and renaming has taken place to make sure we continue to have a strong identity within the UK railway industry while leveraging our experience in asset and project management.² The choice of new name echoes that originally given to the business – Eversholt Leasing – when privatised,and HSBC said that ŒEversholt¹ still resonates within the rail industry.
