For the third year in a row, we were the winners in the category for the biggest fleets (1000+) at the Small Fleet Leasing awards, run by the business motoring website for SMEs, Business Car Manager.
This is a great achievement for Fleet Alliance, as in a sector that continues to show considerable growth year on year, our rivals run us closer and closer. So having won the award the last two years, I think it’s impressive to win it for a third time in a row.
The other satisfying element is that it was judged by a panel of experts from the leasing sector, who’ve seen how we work, our achievements and have chosen to recognise it. That’s really gratifying to be recognised by your industry peers.
On top of the 1000+ award, we also walked away with the customer service award – also for the third year running!
In so many ways, this is the big one to get right. Great service is what we always hope to be about and this award demonstrates that we are still getting things right.
Despite this trio of customer service wins, this is not the time to get complacent and I can guarantee we will continue to look at ways to improve and evolve.
A business is nothing without its people and whilst it was only myself and David Blackmore who could represent the Fleet Alliance team in London, I appreciate this award says as much about our processes as it does about our excellent staff, who are the bedrock of great customer service.
The judges recognised this and said: “At the top of Fleet Alliance’s leasing programme are their people – happy, engaged and a motivated team. This award-winning culture results in high employee retention rates and excellent customer service.”
They went on to add: “And that’s reflected by inclusion in the 2015 UK’s Best Workplaces and an Investor in People Gold Status.”
I’m absolutely made up with these comments as you all know how important this is to me.
Congratulations then to all our staff, who are pivotal in all the business we do. And to our customers, I hope this gives you added confidence that we are the best to service your business.

I love this US motor show, the show that celebrates car modifications in style – the 2015 Speciality Equipment Market Association show. Or SEMA, based – where else? – but Las Vegas. With many of the big US manufacturers taking the opportunity to bring along concepts where flared wheel arches, outrageous spoilers, custom paintjobs and … Continued
Oh for goodness sake where did summer go? And now autumn’s whizzed past and, with the clocks having gone back, we’re looking down the barrel of a harsh winter weather again. Okay, the extra hour in bed might have been very welcome, but it’s a matter of fact that the dark mornings and darker nights … Continued
It’s November and we might be on the run down to 2016, but the good ship motor show displays no sign of slowing down and has most recently put down anchor in the land of the rising sun – at Tokyo. I always like the Tokyo Motor Show – it usually reveals some wild and … Continued
Last week’s press was full of Chinese President, Xi Jinping’s state visit to the UK. The Chinese President was in the UK to put his signature on a series of lucrative trade and business contracts with UK businesses to provide inward investment and extend export opportunities worth around £30bn in total. The visit prompted me … Continued
I think I’m going on a bit of green theme here – and as the trees turn autumnally red, why not? My last blog was on five of my favourite Electric Vehicles to clean the air, but if your fleet hasn’t had Electric Vehicles – or EVs – before, how do you make sure your … Continued
Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you can’t fail to have noticed the cloud of media attention surrounding car emissions and emission testing. So what do you do if you want an alternatively fuelled fleet in order to get a bit of fresh air, and go really green in the process? EVs could … Continued
It’s the big one, the German blockbuster, the amphitheatre packed with the latest class acts, it’s the Frankfurt Motor Show. It is, also, a good way to lose your shoe leather so large is the German international carfest. Still, that’s always a good excuse to stop for a pilsner. Or two. But that’s another story. … Continued
When was the last time you went past a fuel station and saw the price of diesel was below that of petrol? Quite. I can’t recall either. I have to admit, the first time I thought I had misread the sign; the second time I knew it must be true. It seems the combined effects … Continued
I don’t mind a bit of athletics. In fact, I’ve been known to strap on a pair of running shoes from time to time. I’ve been keeping an eye on the World Athletics Championship in Beijing – It’s certainly an exciting warm up for next year’s Rio Olympics. One of the highlights for me was … Continued
