Bright outlook for Fleet Alliance
23 June 2010
New car orders at Fleet Alliance are up 30% year-on-year as the economic recovery continues and the company looks to expand with a number of new staff appointments. At the same time, a new website and the launch of several new products and services are all indicators of a more positive marketplace, says managing director Martin Brown.
The economy is continuing to recover from recession with more companies looking to renew their company vehicles after a sustained period of extending fleet contracts in order to keep purchasing costs under control.
“We are receiving far greater levels of enquiries from companies operating 100-plus fleets than this time last year and have recently signed a contract with Gala Coral Group to manage its 500 vehicle fleet,“ said Brown.
“Overall, finance seems more readily available and although the economic situation is by no means as buoyant as it was before the credit crunch, the indicators are all far more positive,” he added.
Currently, as part of an ongoing recruitment drive, Fleet Alliance is looking for two high calibre business development executives with the ability to generate new business on their own initiative, primarily with companies operating up to 150 vehicles.
“We are looking to further grow our sales team in line with the current expansion in the market and are looking for exceptional people with contract hire or fleet management experience. They can be anywhere in the UK, but will have access to all our back office systems and support as if they were based at head office,” he said.
This will include comprehensive vehicle finance rates for the panel of preferred funders that Fleet Alliance works with and which form the cornerstone of the company’s competitive tendering proposition.
This process is time as well as cost efficient and, managed effectively, has been shown to drive down fleet funding costs by as much as 8-10%.
Fleet Alliance also has a host of new product launches and initiatives that it is about to unveil which will bring added value to new and existing customers. For example, the company is about to re-launch its website with increased functionality that will ensure all processes are not only automated and online, but enhanced as well.
And details will be released shortly of the company’s new salary sacrifice scheme, which allow businesses to manage their grey fleet drivers more effectively, meet duty of care obligations, widen choice to employees and reduce their tax liabilities – all through the one scheme.
“There are some very strong indicators of better economic times and businesses feeling more confident about their short to medium term prospects. We feel that with our current portfolio of products and services, and with those that we are about to launch, we are in a very strong position to aid in that recovery process,” added Martin Brown.
