Fleet News 50

Apologies for being a little late with this one, however last week the highly anticipated Fleet News 50 landed on my desk.

Interesting reading all round, with a few articles regarding the way forward for businesses to deal with reputable, professional brokers (like ourselves) to get the best rates and service from an industry which is changing daily

However back to the main topic of the publication it was great to see that Anthony K Associates deal with all 5 of the Top 5 leasing companies (in terms of fleet size). A further 7 funding partners are in the Top 30 allowing us to use the largest and most competitive funding for fleets of any size

Rochdale Lacrosse Club

Rochdale Lacrosse Club has finally got themselves a great new website

This sport has given me and my family some of the best times both and and off the field.

Please check out the site, for photos, match reviews and news of social events. If your business can help develop lacrosse in Rochdale beyond drop me a line.

It would also be great to speak to any ex-Lacrosse players through business!

Network Sets High Standards for Brokers

Small businesses, wishing to lease cars through brokers, can look forward to higher standards.
From January 2009, all Network brokers will have to be British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) approved.

It is a significant step to raise standards. Network represents the largest group of franchised brokers in the UK – 210 in total. Car funding and the Network franchise infrastructure is provided by leasing giant LeasePlan.

Tim Hudson, commerical director for LeasePlan, explained: “We take our position as industry leader very seriously. As a result we can’t focus simply on signing as many brokers as possible and pushing through as many sales as we can. Instead, our focus should be on setting and maintaining standards for a select group of elite brokers.”

Fleet Cars Reduce Impact on the Environment

Just reading through some news from the BVLRA (British Vehicle Leasing and Renal Association) and found an interesting article on the impact of business cars on the environment.

It seems that although business is responsible for a large number of vehicles on the road however they are most likely to be taking action against 'dirty' cars. The average fleet car has a emissions of 157.4g/km of Co2, a huge reduction of 3 million tonnes over the last four years.

Anthony K Associates actively quote and refer to the C02 impact of each car we deal with in order to assist businesses with their environmental goals. It's damage limitation and the message is getting through!

Sat Nav Nightmares!

The MEN have run a story about a 'Sat Nav Shortcut' taking drivers above the moors above Oldham and them getting stuck!

I think we can call that a slight glitch in the system! However I'd definitely be thinking twice before taking my brand new Company Car up a rocky, muddy and dark lane instead of the A-Road i've just turned off !
