Leasedrive Velo drives value to re-sign Ceridian
1 February 2011

The Leasedrive Velo Group, the largest independent privately-owned vehicle management group in the UK, has retained the business to supply contract hire and fleet management services to Ceridian, the UK's leading provider of HR and payroll services. The sole-supply contract covers a fleet of around 100 contract hire vehicles and 120 cash-for-car drivers. Vehicle supply is predominantly Audi, BMW and Volkswagen.

Leasedrive Velo Group commercial director, Roddy Graham said: “For the past four years, we have been delivering added value fleet solutions to Ceridian and we are delighted that the company has opted to extend the contract indefinitely. In those four years, the Ceridian fleet has become greener with average CO2 emissions reduced by 19 per cent, from 167 g/km to 136 g/km. Given Ceridian’s HR expertise, it rightly expects the optimum in company car solutions, supported by the best-in-class service provision and technology.

“Ceridian continues to be highly impressed with our bespoke fleet management approach and totally integrated online fleet management system, Drive:Manager. With duty of care high on the HR and boardroom agenda, especially given the ‘ticking time bomb’ of the grey fleet, we will continue to develop mutually beneficial, creative service offers.

“The company car is one of the most valuable, high profile and emotive employee benefits and last year we worked closely with Ceridian in producing our ‘Essential Guide to Car Salary Sacrifice Schemes’. We have several further joint initiatives in the pipeline.”

Doug Sawers, managing director of Ceridian in the UK, commented: “As the UK's leading provider of human resource management and payroll services, our focus is on delivering value into customer organisations and to deliver and grow our services alongside our customers, creating real, tangible value. We seek the same management ethos from our partner suppliers and Leasedrive Velo Group, whose senior management is a three-time winner of the Thames Valley Business Magazine ‘Management Team of the Year’ Award, has more than delivered on its promises and driven tangible ROI for our own organisation. Leasedrive Velo employees have a very impressive customer-driven focus.

“Ceridian is enjoying significant growth and progress in the development of its customer value proposition and both our organisations share similar business values.”

Ceridian benefits from a suite of solutions available under Drive:Manager. These include Fleet:Manager, Service:Manager, Mileage:Manager, Licence:Manager, Admin:Manager and Info:Manager.
