Countrywide Car and Van Rental, one of the largest short-term corporate vehicle rental distributors in the UK, has been re-appointed as the sole-supplier to Companies House, following a tender process involving six car rental providers.
Roddy Graham, commercial director, said: "We are delighted to have won this contract after a highly competitive tender process. We successfully retained this business, based on our past customer service record and our ability to deliver a cost-effective and quality car and van rental service. We first started working for Companies House in 2000 and became its sole-supplier the following year. It is great to continue this valuable partnership."
Stephen Davies, procurement manager for Companies House commented: "I am pleased Countrywide Car and Van Rental has won our business again. Countrywide has consistently provided a high level of service during the past three years. I look forward to continuing our relationship."
