The extended contract will see Prestige continue to provide LeasePlan’s fleet with a full range of SMR facilities through to February 2018.

Neil Dixon, head of procurement and supplier management at LeasePlan UK, said: “We place great importance on working with partners who reflect our own high standards of service delivery.

“Prestige understands and consistently demonstrates this customer-first approach to service. They have a flexible and technically innovative attitude to driver needs, and a clear commitment to operational efficiency.

“We expect Prestige to continue to play a crucial role as we focus on exceeding drivers’ expectations.”

Colin Bate, Prestige Group managing director, added: “We are delighted to have secured this contract extension which we regard as an endorsement of the values we hold dear, and which we have aligned fully alongside LeasePlan’s over the last five and a half years.

“Our growing fleet specialist network of service centres work consistently hard to deliver the technical quality and driver service levels so necessary to a client of LeasePlan’s stature and size.

“And we will continue to develop innovative communication and service delivery processes through our unique Unity operating and processing platform, which is already being utilised in support of LeasePlan’s drive for ever improving driver and customer solutions,” he said.
