We’ve had some great recognition recently. There was the Best Workplace for Women in July; this was followed by being named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in the Financial Services and Insurance industry in August.
And to make it a hat-trick, we’ve just been voted Best Fleet Management Company by industry publication BusinessCar.
That’s some recognition against our industry peers. And richly deserved by all our staff who deliver the service day in day out to a mix of fleets ranging from small fleets through to fleets in the thousands.
Exceptional technology powers our fleet management expertise, starting with our Fleet 360 tool, which helps audit each fleet by pinpointing more cost-effective car solutions through a whole life cost approach and identifying where electrification would be most suitable for fleet decarbonisation.
I’m not going to cover every aspect of our comprehensive Fleet 360 tool, but central to it is the competitive tendering process, where every vehicle is presented to our panel of leading funders to ensure the lowest rental is achieved for every car or van we supply.
We estimate this saves at least 10% per annum on running a fleet, which is a substantial £72,000 on the bottom line each year for a fleet of 200 cars.
The BusinessCar judges recognised this combination of cost saving and decarbonisation for “not just managing, but re-engineering fleets for a safer, cleaner and more cost-effective future.”
That approach, which forms part of our sustainable mobility strategy for fleet management, is certainly beginning to show in the choice of vehicles.
In the first half of 2025 vehicle orders were over 80% electrified (45% for battery electric vehicles and 36% for hybrids) – the highest market share for both drivetrain types to date with the current order pipeline exceeding these figures. And we expect those figures to continue in that direction.
Of course not all fleets are ready to move to electrified vehicles so we ensure that the same benefits of fleet management and best pricing apply across all vehicle types.
But fleet management is also about how you present information to fleet managers. It’s another aspect the BusinessCar judges picked up on in their citation, saying: “Over the last year, Fleet Alliance has combined data-driven insight, relentless innovation and a passionate team to cut client costs, reduce risk and accelerate decarbonisation.”
While Fleet 360 is the complete fleet management solution, e-Fleet helps fleet managers look after their fleet in realtime, irrespective of funder. Our cloud-based reporting system enables those in control of fleet to order new vehicles, log and track mileage, and provide notifications such as MOT renewals when due. Plus plenty more.
It’s all about getting simple visibility rather than an overwhelming deluge of data.
So I’m absolutely delighted that BusinessCar recognised Fleet Alliance as the Best Fleet Management Company in its 2025 awards. It’s recognition of the Fleet Alliance DNA that runs deep through the company.

The Electric Car Grant, introduced by the Government on Tuesday 15 July, is definitely to be welcomed. I’ll caveat that slightly because it’s early days, and we really don’t have all the details of the grant. But it’s certainly a good indicator of the Government’s direction of travel and its continuing engagement with the automotive … Continued
We all like an award, an additional trophy for the cabinet – the recognition is important and it’s always good to receive a meaningful endorsement. But this one is so central to what we do, it really means a lot to us. The trade website Broker News held its annual awards in London at the … Continued
With media headlines stuffed full of tariffs and their impacts on the UK and the world economy, it is perhaps little wonder that the Prime Minister unveiled flexibilities to the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate as a backing to British business. UK vehicle manufacturing certainly needs help faced with 25% tariffs for cars heading to … Continued
Electric car (EV) customers need to be aware of two important changes to Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) – more commonly known as road tax – which came into effect from 1st April 2025. A change in standard VED Electric cars have been exempt from VED, but from April 2025 they are now subject to what … Continued
Cars have been the easy part of fleet decarbonisation. Conducive benefit-in-kind taxation has persuaded company car drivers to switch to electric, while progressive businesses wanting to address decarbonisation as part of a wider ESG programme have introduced electric car salary sacrifice schemes for staff. Vans, though, have been rather more difficult. In our experience, the … Continued
Who would have thought that Britain would be the largest market for electric cars in Europe? Given the daily misgivings about the technology rehearsed in some of the media, not to mention the constant negative criticism on social media, you might possibly think that Britain really doesn’t want anything to do with this zero tailpipe … Continued
It’s not been an easy journey. The task has been complex, often challenging, but ultimately highly rewarding: Fleet Alliance has become carbon neutral. It’s not a legal requirement for our company, but we believe carbon neutrality is essential to our business as a sustainable mobility provider. Walking the walk, and all that. But what does … Continued
It’s astonishing how quickly the change has been: today’s data shows nearly a third (29%) of company car drivers are in zero emission electric cars; yet just seven years ago, the majority (80%) were driving diesel-powered company vehicles. And the number of EV drivers is forecast to grow as more drivers seize the opportunity for … Continued
It was not hard to pick out the Renault stand at this year’s Geneva Show, thankfully revived after five years away, since the number of key manufacturers present were few. But what was presented on the stand was hugely important, and highly relevant in a market that needs stimulation because Renault chose the moment to … Continued
