Leasedrive diversifies with Scope
14 February 2006

Leasedrive Group, the largest independent privately-owned vehicle management group in the UK, has won the contract to provide fleet management to Scope, the national disability organisation whose focus is people with cerebral palsy. The contract covers 340 vehicles and includes accident management and short-term vehicle rental.

Commercial director, Roddy Graham said: “This is our second win in the not-for-profit sector, following on from another contract won last year. Our adaptability was a key factor in winning this new account as Scope has a specific requirement for specially-equipped vehicles. The flexibility and impressive technical features of our bespoke online totally integrated fleet management system, Drive:Manager, together with our dedicated management team and flexible reporting, were major deciding factors in clinching this deal.”

Maggie Stallybrass, procurement manager at Scope commented: “When it came down to the final selection, we were highly impressed with Leasedrive’s attention to detail. They truly wanted to listen and learn about our specific requirement to ensure that the fleet management programme they implemented for us met our direct needs. They have created a bespoke network for our specialist vehicles from scratch, which was very impressive.”

Leasedrive has also cemented the relationship by becoming the first Associate Partner of Scope’s Diversity Works initiative, part of the charity’s Time to Get Equal campaign. Diversity Works is a unique partnership between businesses, Scope and disabled people to improve the experiences of disabled employees in the workplace and create real leadership opportunities.

Maggie Stallybrass added: “We were delighted that Leasedrive has chosen to be a part of Diversity Works and that they are keen to reflect Scope’s own commitment to equality and diversity.”

Scope is a national disability organisation, based in England and Wales, with a focus on people with cerebral palsy. Scope’s mission is to drive the change to make our society the first where disabled people achieve full equality.
