Award hat-trick for Kwik-Fit Fleet
Kwik-Fit Fleet, Britain’s largest independent fast-fit provider, have continued in their drive to help businesses reduce their operating costs and improve efficiency, which has resulted in them being named Van Service and Repair Company of the Year by industry publication Fleet Van; a major industry award that sees the company complete a hat-trick of honours in 2010.
In presenting the award to Kwik-Fit Fleet, Mr Stephen Briers, the publication’s editor-in-chief, said: “With its seven-days-a-week servicing and repair offering, a heavy investment in training and apprentices and the introduction of many new initiatives such as vehicle health check and free tyres and safety checks that perfectly meet fleets needs, everything Kwik-Fit does helps fleets to reduce costs and improve efficiency.”
Kwik-Fit Fleet has now won a total of 72 awards in its near 24-year history. Earlier this year, Kwik-Fit Fleet was voted by fleet decision-makers the UK’s number one fast-fit company for an incredible 17 years in succession in the annual BusinessCar Awards and the company also received a Supplier Excellence Award from leading vehicle leasing and management company LeasePlan UK.
Kwik-Fit Fleet sales director Peter Lambert said: “The Fleet Van award firmly establishes Kwik-Fit Fleet among the leaders of the fleet industry’s Premier Division. For many years, the company has been the number one fast-fit provider to the corporate sector but this award underlines the company’s position among the entire industry’s crème de la crème having beaten suppliers from a range of sectors to the title.
“Fleets want a fast and efficient service that is convenient for their van drivers. Our centres already offer seven-day-a-week extended hours opening and with a service typically available within 48 hours rather than the 14-day wait for some franchised dealers. This makes vehicle MoTs, servicing and repairs very attractive to fleet operators and drivers in addition to our range of traditional fast-fit services. Meanwhile, our mobile offering saves valuable time for drivers as our technicians undertake work at customers’ location of choice.
“In a challenging economic environment we expect corporate demand for our range of centre and mobile services to further increase due to a range of factors such as: the fleet focus on cost management with our menu of services, which includes manufacturer scheduled servicing. This provides businesses with direct savings when compared with franchise dealers and our seven-day a week opening policy with extended opening hours which gives flexibility to drivers.
“Van fleets want access to a range of fast and efficient services that keep vehicle downtime to a minimum and simultaneously deliver value for money. Kwik-Fit Fleet delivers on all those fronts through our comprehensive one-stop shop service portfolio.”
