Yesssssssssssss!
Sorry, I’ll calm down now.
Apart from my natural exuberance at seeing my football club win (or beating my personal best over a 10km run, I reserve my special yeses for really big moments.
And this is one such.
We’ve just won the Fleetye CSI award – for the company providing the best service to its customers (fleet size up to 250) in the annual Experteye customer satisfaction survey.
Now, I know you might be thinking ‘what?’ and ‘so?’ but this is really important.
The Fleeteye CSI awards are the leasing company equivalent of the J D Power awards that, if you recall, rate car manufacturers for customer service.
Our award win is great recognition for the work and service we provide to our customers.
The Fleeteye CSI awards do the same thing but for leasing service providers. And we’ve won! Against some of the really big guns in the leasing industry from the top echelons of the FN50.
In the industry, this is significant – we might consider ourselves a large company, but against these leasing goliaths we are but a mere David with a sling and five stones. So it’s a great recognition for the work and service we provide to our customers.
And it’s all due to our staff. Who I can tell you, love what they are doing. Really.
We’ve already established that we’re one of the best places to work in the UK. We’ve got gold accreditation for investors in people, so we take the way we look after our staff seriously.
But in an unserious way.
You see the best way to deliver brilliant service is to make your staff happy, and they genuinely are because of some of the daft things we do together. We call it “Fleet Alliance Loves’, which is a catch all for charitable fund raising to social events such as our national onesie day. At work. No exceptions.
For example, we’re currently organising a Stars in their Eyes event to support Maggie’s, one of our chosen charities. I will be doing my best Sam Smith impersonation, promise.
Or cakes. All the staff are good at cakes – and I’m pretty partial to eating them.
It all adds up (yes, on my waistline, I know) to happy staff, which equals happy customers.
And the results are shown in winning the coveted Fleeteye CSI customer service award.
Yesssssssssssss!

Have you noticed the price of fuel recently? There was talk of it going to 99p a litre – although I didn’t see it quite that low. But it seems like we’ve never had it so good as far as fuel prices are concerned. I mean, with prices this low, how many of you have … Continued
All this talk of driverless cars being tested on UK roads has got me thinking – as a driver, how will their introduction affect me? Imagine a world without crashes, congestion and road rage – heaven, right? But as an enthusiast, like the 350 million or so fans that watch Top Gear, I do wonder … Continued
I’ve been thinking about this quite a lot recently – and not just because we have some electric car points at our new offices, although that does focus the mind. But what if BIK was changed to earmark more of the pollutants that affect air quality – such as NOx from car exhausts as well … Continued
We’re not even a month into 2015 and while the weather might be cold and snowy outside, the news coming from the car makers is all hot, hot, hot. That’s because the first big motor show of 2015 has kicked off in motor city itself – Detroit. So what was making the news Stateside? … Continued
I really don’t go for New Year resolutions – at least on a personal level. You always start off with good intentions and then end up with that inevitable sense of failure as that New Year vim gradually ebbs away. Well, at least in my case it does… But it is always a good time … Continued
Dear Santa, We’ve all been good boys and girls here at Fleet Alliance. Just so you know, we’ve managed to reduce the environmental impact of our clients by lowering the CO2 output of their fleets by over 2 billion grammes. After all, we wouldn’t want to see Santa’s Winter Wonderland Grotto beginning to melt… We’ve … Continued
The diesel car has found itself under attack. First London Mayor Boris Johnson suggests a £12.50 charge for diesel cars entering London – the only exception being for Euro 6 diesels. Then France goes further. French prime minister Manuel Valls wants to progressively ban all diesel cars from France and encourage french drivers to go … Continued
Just where are you on blurred seasonality? Maybe I’m getting older and more curmudgeonly but I really find it irksome when Christmas starts in the shops mid-November. OK, I know they have a job to do but if you’re not careful the magic of Christmas can run out before the big day finally arrives. There … Continued
Some people accuse me of talking a lot of hot air. Slightly unfair I feel, but sometimes I see their point. Anyway, we like the idea of going green here at Fleet Alliance, not least because we all want cleaner air and a reversal of the polar ice cap melt. Of course, there is a … Continued
