Countrywide wins new Companies House contract
14 September 2004

Countrywide Car and Van Rental, one of the largest short-term corporate vehicle rental distributors in the UK, has been re-appointed as the sole-supplier to Companies House, following a tender process involving six car rental providers. 

Roddy Graham, commercial director, said: “We are delighted to have won this contract after a highly competitive tender process.  We successfully retained this business, based on our past customer service record and our ability to deliver a cost-effective and quality car and van rental service.  We first started working for Companies House in 2000 and became its sole-supplier the following year.  It is great to continue this valuable partnership.”                                 

Stephen Davies, procurement manager for Companies House commented: “I am pleased Countrywide Car and Van Rental has won our business again.  Countrywide has consistently provided a high level of service during the past three years.  I look forward to continuing our relationship.”

The Companies House rental business will be supplied via Countrywide’s comprehensive UK network of locations, with over 73,000 cars, vans and minibuses to choose from.  Under the terms of the new contract, Countrywide will be required to deliver to any UK government office or private address, provide one-way rentals, an out of office hours delivery and collection service plus comprehensive management reporting.

Countrywide customers benefit from a special all-inclusive pricing policy including free unlimited mileage.  A single reservations number – 0871 271 8855 – covers both local or national vehicle rentals.  Deliveries can be arranged with as little as two hours’ notice.

Companies House, based in Cardiff, is an executive agency of DTI.  It is responsible for the incorporation and dissolution of companies; for the registration of information supplied by them under the Companies Act and related legislation, and for making this information available to the public.
