)
Countrywide Vehicle Management Limited, part of the Leasedrive Group, one of the largest independent privately-owned vehicle management groups in the UK, celebrated its 10th anniversary at the Oval this month in the company of Alec Stewart, England's most capped cricketer ever. Alec retired from first class cricket this year to focus on his business interests and has signed a promotional deal with the Leasedrive Group for 2004.
Brainchild of current chief executive officer, Roger Partridge, the main Countrywide Car and Van Rental division has developed into the UK's second largest vehicle rental distributor for the corporate market. More recently, a new division called Countrywide Vehicle Management was established offering a complete range of carefully structured vehicle mobility solutions.
Leasedrive Group commercial director, Roddy Graham said: "The Countrywide brand is well recognised in the corporate market place as delivering real value for money. Its portfolio of services has recently been expanded and Countrywide is strongly positioned for further growth over the next ten years."
