Leasedrive Wins 2006 Fleet News Award
)
At last night's 2006 Fleet News Awards, Leasedrive Group, the largest independent privately-owned vehicle management group in the UK, won the prestigious 'Best Contract Hire/Fleet Management Company' Award. The award is for the company judged to provide the best all-round service, product range, cost effectiveness and support for fleet customers and their drivers.
Commercial director, Roddy Graham said: "After being Highly Commended at last year's awards, we have gone one step better and lifted the top prize. This is a tremendous accolade and recognition of all the hard work put in by our staff on behalf of our customers."
"We have always been driven by a passion to deliver the best-in-class, all round service. Our high quality bespoke vehicle management service is continually being enhanced to meet the future business needs of our clients. These all benefit from the on-going investment and development programme in our industry-leading, bespoke online totally integrated fleet management system, Drive:Manager."
The winning citation for the 'Best Contract Hire/Fleet Management Company' Award at this year's Fleet News Awards stated:
"A classic case of biggest not necessarily meaning best. Leasedrive found favour for its innovation, clear branding and description of products. Customer service was praised, as was customer retention.
Rather than pursuing dominance of the market, the Leasedrive approach is to be smaller and more focused. One judge commented: 'They don't just say it, they do it.' Another said: 'A Leasedrive account manager is a friend for life.'"
The panel of judges for the supplier awards comprised: Fleet News Editor, Martyn Moore; Deputy Editor, Steve Moody; News editor, Mike Roberts; Emap Consumer Media fleet manager, Debbie Floyde; ACFO director, Julie Jenner; Fleet Audits director, Stewart Whyte; DTZ Debenham Tie Leung, Liz Hollands; Whitbread business relationship manager, Nigel Trotman and Pfizer buyer - fleet/facilities, Lynne Bundle.
