Bull latest addition to Leasedrive Velo's IT fleet portfolio
Leasedrive Velo, one of the UK's largest independent privately-owned vehicle management groups, has been awarded sole supplier status in the UK by Bull, one of Europe's leading IT companies, and will manage over 60 company car drivers and 75 'opt-out' drivers. New vehicles will be sourced from Peugeot, Saab and Vauxhall.
Commercial director, Roddy Graham at Leasedrive Velo said: "We are delighted to have won the Bull contract. This is a strong addition to our IT client portfolio.
"The fleet management contract covers two main areas. Contract hire provision will be based on a pay-as-you-use maintenance management agreement supported by an accident management service. Opt-out drivers will be covered by our Responsibility driver management service. Licence:Manager will be used to ensure duty of care compliance for both company car and opt-out drivers."
Debbie Murray, Human Resources, UK and Ireland, Bull, commented: "Leasedrive Velo has adopted a pro-active approach to implementation and we have been reassured by its RunOut:Manager product which has made the transfer of the fleet a seamless operation. Certainly, the Drive:Manager online totally-integrated fleet management system has greatly impressed us and we look forward to a long and rewarding partnership."
Bull will benefit from a suite of solutions available under Drive:Manager. These include Fleet:Manager, Service:Manager, Admin:Manager, Info:Manager, Accident:Manager, Licence:Manager and RunOut:Manager.
