Leasedrive Velo witnesses uptake for Licence:Manager
30 November 2010

The Leasedrive Velo Group, one of the largest independent privately-owned vehicle management groups in the UK, has seen a significant increase in uptake among clients for its licence checking module, Licence:Manager. In the past 12 months, the number of customers subscribing to Licence:Manager has risen by 44 per cent with over two-thirds of clients now regularly checking employee driving licence records through the robust and fast-track solution.

Commercial director, Roddy Graham said: “Regular driving licence checking, whether outsourced or performed in-house, should be a given for any organisation serious about its duty of care responsibilities.

“This is even more paramount now that the DVLA has reduced its 12-month concessionary period to 28 days from 7 November. Any driver who fails to surrender his or her driving licence for endorsement to the court or DVLA receives a letter requesting the return of the licence to Swansea. And now DVLA will only give the driver 28 days to comply before revoking the driving licence. This increases the likelihood of some employees maybe driving ‘at work’ while disqualified.

“Licence checking among grey fleet drivers is even more critical. All ‘at work’ drivers should be checked at least once a year and preferably more regularly – ideally every quarter.”

Licence:Manager is just one of a wide number of modules available under the Drive:Manager online totally-integrated fleet management system.
