Commercial director, Roddy Graham said: "We are delighted that our net-net transparent pricing approach, together with our bespoke online integrated fleet management system, Drive:Manager, provided us with the winning edge in this competitive tender.
"We have also been appointed to manage a pan-European fleet analysis using key specialist consultant partners."
Peter Bateson, fleet manager, at De La Rue commented: "We were attracted by Leasedrive's 'net-net' pricing approach which allows us to determine actual costs. Combined with its web-based fleet management system, this was the main reason why we selected Leasedrive."
The new fleet management contract, based on a total and open disclosure policy, covers client policy advice, vehicle acquisition, vehicle disposal, vehicle maintenance management, roadside assistance, accident management and driver management.
De La Rue plc will benefit from a suite of solutions available under Drive:Manager including Fleet:Manager, Service:Manager, Admin:Manager and Info:Manager.
