The challenge
- The group had recently purchased serval business and the fleet was on various terms, by various suppliers, some vehicles owned with high maintenance cost
- Various suppliers
- Various terms/vehicles
- Rebranding
Prior to working with Central Self Drive James Fisher and Sons plc had several suppliers for vehicle hire and leasing, all on various contracts. The Group also had a fleet of ageing vans with high maintenance costs.
The Group was looking to replace its ageing fleet & reduce rising maintenance cost, consolidate its suppliers to bring a consistent service level agreement to the whole group.
At the same time, the business was going through a rebrand and it was decided the new vehicles would help with this transition.
The solution

- Terms of hire to suit all business within the group
- You van your way – branding, livery, tow bar beacons and telematics fitted by our own team
- Budget to suit
- Train manager on the telematics system
- Delivery of vehicles nationwide
Central Self Drive worked with various managers and drivers within the James Fisher group to gather information, discuss the requirements of each team to find the appropriate vehicles to suit.
Through our knowledge of the industry we was able quickly to offer and narrow down to a couple of manufactures to suit the groups budget and operation requirements.
A range Of Peugeot and Citroen light commercial vehicles were chosen. All were placed on the same terms and service level to keep consistency throughout.
To help with the rebrand Our fleet managers liaised with the Companies Marketing team so we could arrange all company livery and chapter 8 highway maintenance prior to delivery.
Our own dedicated workshop of technicians was also able to supply and fit tow bars, beacons and telematics to the vehicles before hand over.
Our fleet managers work with our telematics provide and customer to arrange training and any trouble shooting problem that may arise at the start
Vehicles were then delivered nationwide with handover checks with drivers to various companies within the group including Testing Services in Harlow, Cumbria and Warrington, & NDT to wales
