Fleet Alliance are delighted to announce that we have extended our back of shirt sponsorship of Partick Thistle for the 2019/20 season.

For the third season in a row we will be donating our back of shirt advertising space on the home strips to Thistle’s charity partner, The Partick Thistle Charitable Trust, with our own logo featuring on the away shirts.

Since 2008, Fleet Alliance has raised more than £500,000 for various charities and will continue to support deserving causes in the West of Scotland, across the UK and overseas. As a company, Fleet Alliance continues to espouse core values of fairness, trust, engagement and respect, values that, according to Managing Director, Martin Brown, remain at the core of this partnership.

Martin said: “Since we first teamed up with Partick Thistle we have built up a really good partnership with the Club. It’s something we are really proud of. There continues to be a lot of excitement around the Club and we are already looking forward to the new season. I continue to be impressed by the ambition and focus that the Club shows and that was a big factor in us renewing our sponsorship for another season..

“The sponsorship is a great fit for us and the charity aspect of the deal is as big a part of that as the commercial side. We are delighted to be able to show our support for the Partick Thistle Charitable Trust and all the fantastic work they do within the local community. There are some really inspiring projects being worked on and we look forward to hopefully being part of them over the next year.

Partick Thistle Chief Executive, Gerry Britton, said: “We have enjoyed a really strong relationship with Martin and Fleet Alliance in recent years so it was fantastic to be able to welcome them back for another season. The continued support for our charity partner, through the structure of the sponsorship, says a great deal for how Fleet Alliance conducts business. It’s a wonderful gesture that will help the Trust to continue delivering on its fantastic projects.”

The race to net zero

Green. It’s a colour you can’t escape at the moment. It not only marks the changing complexion of the political landscape – the Green Party gained 12.1% in the recent European elections to finish fourth – it’s the colour of the changing attitude to the environment. Whether you approve of Extinction Rebellion’s protest methods, it’s … Continued

Should we move to all electric cars and vans by 2035?

There was a fair amount of debate recently about this: the Committee on Climate Change reporting on ‘Net Zero – The UK’s contribution to stopping global warming’. To paraphrase rather loosely the 275-page report, it essentially said that the UK could get to a net zero carbon position by 2050. Net zero is not to … Continued

The opportunity for mobility to shape future fleet strategy

While I do wonder at the government’s inability to publish some shorter-term guidance – such as benefit-in-kind taxation beyond 2021 – this briefing from the Department of Transport is welcome. It offers a valuable insight into how the government sees the future; the future of simply getting from A to B. How will this be … Continued

Why Hammond only talks the environmental game

In many ways I thought Chancellor Hammond was brilliantly skilful in the way he tiptoed through the minefields and political debris of the previous night’s vote on Brexit. It was certainly one of those jobs for someone else. And the thing that really resonated with me was when the Chancellor announced that “We are addressing … Continued

Excellence is hard won

How do you improve on excellence? What’s the driver to keep on improving? It’s a good question. Take tennis player Roger Federer, for example. The 37-year-old Swiss player, a veteran of 19 years in the sport, has just taken his 100th title. At that age – with younger players continually challenging him – and with … Continued

How do we know the growth in PCH is from company car drivers?

A bit of scene-setting first before I hit the afterburners. Because this has been aggravating me for some time. Personal contract hire – or PCH – has seen a surge in growth over the last few years. And this is to be welcomed. According to figures from the British Vehicle Rental & Leasing Association (BVRLA), … Continued

When cars meet electronics – it’s showtime!

Over the air updates to increase performance? Or, perhaps, to provide new features? Nowhere has car-met-tech so obviously as in the Tesla Model S. Little wonder it is often referred to as a computer on wheels. Certainly, much of Tesla’s appeal and elegance is down to its seamless integration of electronics within the car’s overall … Continued
