Alphabet was one of the first leasing and fleet management company clients to sign up to use the Fleet Assist network of franchise and independent garages following the latter’s launch in 2003.

Key benefits for Alphabet include pre-agreed terms and conditions, pricing and service standards with quality management and performance monitoring.

Glyn Watkin, sourcing manager, Alphabet, said: “Fleet Assist have been the supplier of SMR network management services to Alphabet since 2004, and continue to be the leader in this market. We benchmark the Fleet Assist network and the signing of a new long-term agreement underpins the satisfaction we have with the quality of outlets available, the range of services offered and the fact that the network is truly nationwide.”

Vincent St Claire, commercial director, Fleet Assist, said: “Both companies have worked together for many years and our new extended agreement further underpins the benefits that Fleet Assist delivers not only to Alphabet, but all of our contract hire and leasing company customers.”
