By GlobalDataArval recruited for 280-vehicle fleet
deal
BNP Paribas subsidiary Arval has signed a
three-year contract hire deal to provide fleet services in the UK
for global recruitment firm Randstad.
Arval will finance Randstad’s
280-strong fleet, predominantly made up of passenger cars including
45 low-CO2 vehicles, which Randstad will use for pool cars in a bid
to minimise its environmental impact.
As well as contract hire, Arval will provide
daily rental and mini lease and accident management services.
Rudi Verhaak, head of property and facilities
at Randstad, said: “Reducing our car fleet’s CO2 emissions was high
on our agenda and we’re delighted that our new cars will deliver a
30% reduction in comparison to our current fleet model.”
Alphabet’s UK lease fleet exceeds
100,000-vechile milestone
The tenacious growth of Alphabet UK has seen
the company’s leased fleet swiftly transcend the 100,000 vehicle
mark, making it the UK’s third-largest fleet funding and management
company.
Since the completion of acquiring ING Car
Lease in October 2011, multi-marque vehicle supplier Alphabet has
gone from having 96,750 vehicles in its portfolio to over
105,000.
British retailer Next Plc, a customer to both
companies before the 2011 acquisition was made, placed the order
which carried Alphabet’s fleet count over the 100,000 mark. To
celebrate this, Greg Taylor, commercial director of Alphabet,
recently allocated a Nissan Juke to Avelino Zuzarte, Next HR
manager.
Zuzarte said: “It’s always good to see a
valued supplier achieve a major milestone for their business. Of
course, the key factors in our relationship are the quality of
service and value for money we receive.”
