LTSBa will provide Corus with a fleet of between 1,600-1,800
vehicles, with 600 new vehicles delivered every year on a contract
hire basis with full maintenance and accident management
cover.
The lessor said that it was committed to cutting costs for its
corporate clients, with volume deals with manufacturers and
“competitive finance rates” identified as part of the package,
along with the implementation of IT software in fleet
administration, environmental issues and risk management.
LTSBa said it is looking to expand on the deal’s environmental side
by introducing further ‘green fleet’ measures in the near
future.
Corus has also signed up to LTSBa’s Fleet Sense and Quick Quote
products. The former addresses work-related road safety, while the
latter allows drivers to take advantage of immediate online vehicle
quotes.

By GlobalDataLTSBa has two customer service staff permanently placed at Corus’
plant in Teesside to manage the contract. The mixed fleet of around
1,800 cars is split between a user-chooser fleet for senior
managers, and a dual-badge deal for essential users, who have the
choice of either Toyota or Vauxhall models.
LTSBa corporate sales director, Claudia Rose said: “Winning
Corus’ business in 2003 was fantastic but we’re even more pleased
that the relationship has grown and strengthened, and delivered
real benefits to our client.
“We have been actively promoting innovative solutions in line with
Corus’ financial, HR and overall business objectives.”
Corus’ group compensation and benefits manager David Dales said:
“Originally, Corus chose Lloyds TSB autolease because of its
innovative approach and the promise that they would help us to
drive our costs down. We are a demanding client but they have
constantly met our key performance indicators.”
