Cork Rent-A-Van renews fleet contract with Bridgestone

Bridgestone has renewed its contract with Ireland-based company Cork Rent-A-Van, which specialises in rental leasing and contract hire. The newly signed deal will build upon a long-running, six-year relationship. It will involve Bridgestone supplying a range of new and retread tyres over the next 12 months to cater for Cork Rent-A-Van’s fleet of 300 vans and trucks.

Bridgestone’s sophisticated Siebel online account system, which allows monitoring of individual tyre cost and wear across the whole fleet, at any point of a tyre’s working life is said to have helped secured the deal.

Conor Curran, national fleet executive Ireland/Scotland, Bridgestone Northern Region, said: “The decision by Cork Rent-A-Van to renew their contract reflects Bridgestone’s commitment to establishing long-term relationships that develop in line with a business’s core objectives. This flexibility to provide packages that cater for the specific needs of individual companies ensures that they benefit from a full range of services relevant to their operations.”

John Seaman, MD, at Cork Rent-A-Van, said: “Our customers expect reliability from our vehicles, whether it is for long or short term use and the overall tyre working-life that Bridgestone offers guarantees this. The Bridgestone tailored customer approach, including their online monitoring system was best equipped to respond to our need for a range of tyres suitable for everything from light vans to specialist HGVs, and made staying with Bridgestone an easy choice.”
