Fleet operators could be missing out on potentially huge savings in the reduced accident and repair costs, hire charges and staff downtime to be made from introducing a robust health and safety policy, including driver assessments and behind the wheel training. That’s the view of CLM client relationship manager, Nick Martin, whose job function is to help fleets think strategically about how they run their vehicles.

CLM fleet customers are benefiting to the tune of several hundred pounds per vehicle, thanks to the company’s skilful disposals management strategy which looks to maximise the returns from the resale of de-fleeted company vehicles.

CLM fleet clients in Ireland can now benefit from the same range of fleet management and leasing services they receive on the UK mainland, thanks to a new strategic partnership with multi-franchise Irish motor dealer group, Johnson & Perrott.
