Fleet Management

What do we do?
When an operator’s fleet reaches around the 50 vehicle mark, it will often reach a critical mass, where the running of the fleet (accident management, green policy, grey fleet policy, fuel cards, fleet administration etc) takes the focus away from running that operator’s core business. It will often also become apparent that they need something more personal and bespoke to their individual needs.
This understanding allows us to turn the normally reactive Fleet Management provision into a truly proactive and dedicated service, where we become the centre for all their fleet needs. We not only look after the administration, ordering, servicing, accident management etc, but we analyse the fleet and provide real and valuable support and advice – as if you had employed an experienced Fleet Manager of your own.

Drivers who use their own vehicles for company business are called Grey Fleet drivers, and the challenges posed by Grey Fleets are increasing all the time. The costs can be high- particularly if drivers are being offered cash in lieu of salary, and/or claiming a pence per mile against business use. There is also the Health and Safety implications, with it being the company’s responsibility to ensure that both driver and vehicle are safe and legal for all company travel, however short the trip.

Based upon your circumstances and objectives, Interactive Fleet Management can help minimize the risks associated with vehicle investment by improving efficiency and productivity, and providing 100% compliance with government legislation.

Mark Braithwaite
MD, IGROX Ltd
Nigel Birrell Fleet Management took over the running of the Igrox fleet in 2004. Being in pest control, we are very aware of ensuring best practise and outsourcing the day to day running of our fleet to a specialist company made good sense. Six years on, we have enjoyed a very good relationship with Nigel Birrell Fleet Management and have received excellent service from them. Regular meetings ensure that both parties are fully updated on all developments such as accident statistics, driver checks, vehicle inspection reports, and all handled for us by a small efficient team. They ensure that our company has the right type of vehicle for purpose, and enjoy good relationships with manufacturers that enable us to demand better deals than would normally be available to our 100 vehicle fleet. Their knowledge of best value suppliers for all our vehicle related expenditure is also invaluable. They handle all aspects of our insurance claims, act as a day to day contact point for the drivers (including 24 hour cover) and our staff enjoy a good relationship with them. Their expertise has allowed us to concentrate on our core business, safe in the knowledge that our 100 vehicle fleet is in good hands.
