Thank-you to our existing business customer from Astley (Manchester) for sending through pictures of one of their latest fleet additions from late 2018 – the Kia Optima.
As a local customer to us, this provides an opportunity to offer more in-depth and face to face service, which some businesses still prefer.
The transition of the contract hire and fleet industry to online platforms, has seen many customers conduct more and more business online. For some SME’s, this is a far more efficient way of managing the transaction, as they can quickly organise a number of quotes, ascertain delivery times and order a vehicle.
Some businesses, small and big, still do prefer the closer service, as running a fleet is not without its queries and issues – tax changes, maintenance, driving licence check and road risk policies.
There is no right or wrong answer, it is very much down to the business in question.
That being said, if you are a business based in Liverpool or Manchester and you need advice/solutions for your fleet or leasing, just get in touch with our team and we are more than happy to visit you.
