As red-letter days go, this one in London last week was pretty awesome.
For the second successive year we were voted the Best Small Fleet Leasing Company in awards run by the business motoring website for SMEs, Business Car Manager.
To be honest, I was really surprised. Not because I don’t think we’re good enough. I do.
But simply because the sector has become so much more competitive. And having won the award last year, it’s rare to win the overall award on the bounce.
But I have to say it was really pleasing, not least because experts of the leasing sector judged the entries – so they have fully recognised our all-round competence and expertise in the sector.
But it is also really gratifying to know that we are getting things right. Not that we shall get complacent. There’s always room for improvement. Always.
It’s our people, and their commitment to customer service at Fleet Alliance, that really makes the difference.
But while myself and commercial director David Blackmore were able to lap up the applause at the awards luncheon, the award we received says much about our processes and more importantly our people. Because it’s our people, and their commitment to customer service at Fleet Alliance, that I really believe makes the difference.
It was echoed by one of the judges who said: “Fleet Alliance has a comprehensive offering to clients of all sizes and the dedicated approach to their people does have a significant and positive impact on their customer service.”
I couldn’t ask for better than that!
So as well as winning the overall prize, we also won the categories for Best Small Fleet Leasing Company for over 250 sales, and Best Small Fleet Leasing Company Customer Service Excellence Award.
Congratulations then to our staff, who underpin all we do; and to our customers – industry recognition that we are the best in the business to service your needs.
We shall endeavour to remain the best.

The last of the major international car shows of the year began last week at the Paris Motor Show. Amid the usual media storm there were some fantastic unveils such as Land Rover’s (featured below). The car industry is never shy and retiring, is it? It’s always a brilliant event, this, set in the heart … Continued
I always look forward to this time of year for car news. There’s always lots of future model announcements as we run up to one of the major motor shows at this time of the year. This year it is Paris, next year Frankfurt, as the two shows alternate. And we can expect an avalanche … Continued

They don’t call London Mayor Boris Johnson the ‘blond bombshell’ for nothing. This week he unclipped the safety pin and lobbed a £10 tax for diesels grenade into the mediasphere. Wow! That really exploded onto our attention. With the dust settling, it’s clear there are many things going on here and at different levels. The … Continued
I’m not one for making a huge deal of where Fleet Alliance Towers is located. We’re a national company after all. But not this time. We’re home of the Commonwealth Games. I’m really excited for the city, and for the regeneration it brings to the parts of Glasgow along the Clyde – and for the … Continued
This week the internet search giant Google revealed its first prototype driverless car. I may not be alone in thinking the friendly-faced bubble car has a distinct resemblance to my nephew’s Little Tikes Cosy Coupe play car – the red and yellow plastic bubble car that kids can push along with their feet. The Google … Continued
Imagine a moment in your life that should be joyful, welcoming and fun actually being more stressful than what you would experience at work. I had to do a double-take when I saw that very question asked on TV, whilst preparing for the day at Fleet Alliance HQ. Believe it or not, it involved the … Continued
