Leasedrive Signs Preferred Supplier Deal with Kwik-Fit
)
Leasedrive Group, one of the largest independent privately-owned vehicle management groups in the UK, has signed a preferred supplier deal with Kwik-Fit Fleet, the UK's largest fast-fit provider. The contract provides for the provision of tyre safety checks at client premises as well as a replacement tyre service.
According to commercial director, Roddy Graham: "With our new bespoke range of pioneering online customer services, it made eminent sense to secure a preferred supplier partnership with Kwik-Fit Fleet, who use the Epyx 1Link service network for on-line fleet authorisation. For fleet managers, this will considerably ease the administrative task when ordering replacement tyres."
"Furthermore, we will offer our major fleet customers a free tyre safety check on their premises. The checks will have been pre-booked and, obviously, any necessary tyre replacements will prove time and cost effective for the company car driver. From a company standpoint, these tyre safety checks will assist in complying with its 'duty of care' to its 'at work' drivers. All company employees will also have access to a discounted tyre offering for their own cars via an intranet link."
Mike Wise, Kwik-Fit Fleet sales director, said: "More and more contract hire and leasing companies are looking for efficiency savings, both for themselves and their customers. Our ability to offer online capability coupled with a nationwide network of centres and a comprehensive mobile service has been crucial in winning our latest new contract."
"In addition, Kwik-Fit Fleet has been working hard to promote the importance of regular tyre checks to fleets and drivers as they implement legally-compliant health and safety policies. Leasedrive has recognised our capability in that vital area and has added this important service to its customer fast-fit offering."
Kwik-Fit has a network of 750 high street outlets in the UK. In addition, Kwik-Fit operates more than 200 mobile vans.
