Kwik-Fit Fleet and Leaseplan Sign New Five-Year Deal

Kwik-Fit Fleet has won a five-year multi-million pound tyre repair, replacement and management contract with LeasePlan UK. The deal with LeasePlan UK, one of the country’s largest contract hire and fleet management companies with almost 120,000 funded vehicles on its books, will run until the end of 2011. The new contract builds on a business relationship between the two companies, which dates back to 2004.

Kwik-Fit Fleet will continue as the preferred supplier to LeasePlan UK’s fleet customers, who will continue to benefit from the services offered through the company’s 670-strong nationwide centre network and its 200-vehicle Kwik-Fit Mobile fleet.

Kwik-Fit Fleet boss Mike Wise said: “The five-year contract win with one of Britain’s leading fleet vehicle suppliers is a fantastic way to kick-off 2007. Both businesses have a track record for innovation and enterprise in the fleet marketplace and by continuing to work hand-in-hand with each other we will continue to be able to deliver further significant operational benefits to our mutual customers by continuing to introduce new ideas.”

Graham Rixon, operations director at LeasePlan UK, added: “We aim to provide exceptional service to our customers, and an effective tyre replacement programme is a key element. Fleet drivers need to remain mobile and to do so on safe, reliable tyres.”
