13 February 2008

Leasedrive Velo Rental Management, one of the largest corporate providers of short and mid-term vehicle rental with access to 128,779 vehicles from 958 locations in the UK, has won sole supplier status with Arqiva, the broadcast and mobile communications network solutions and services provider. The contract covers both short and medium-term vehicle rental.

Roddy Graham, commercial director, at Leasedrive Velo said: “With a broadcast and mobile communications presence throughout the UK, Arqiva sought a supplier who could provide the best vehicle rental location representation backed by the widest selection of vehicles nationwide. Arqiva was also keen to benefit from an expedited rental service at airports to get their employees on the road as quickly as possible.”

Steve Fisher, procurement manager, at Arqiva observed: “In the communications business, speed is of the essence so we were most impressed with the fact that Leasedrive Velo can arrange for any type of vehicle to be made available virtually anywhere in the UK at short notice. In addition, the company is capable of meeting our frequent requirement for specialist four-wheel-drive vehicles and is best-positioned to manage the rental vehicle supply chain on a day-to-day basis.”
