Marie Curie signs on with Leasedrive until 2013
Leasedrive has renewed a contract that will see it handle Marie Curie Cancer Care’s vehicle rental requirements for the next two years.
The vehicle managers have looked after the charity’s 174 cars – acquired on contract hire or contract purchase – since 2005.
Roddy Graham, Commercial Director at Leasedrive, said: “Marie Curie Cancer Care has also been one of our prime nominated charities and, given the fantastic work it undertakes by providing free nursing care for terminally-ill patients in their own homes, we have a special bond which goes beyond a normal commercial partnership.
“All charities are under tremendous pressure to maintain fundraising levels in the current climate, so we were conscious that the onus was on us to demonstrate that we were continuing to deliver real value through our totally-integrated online fleet management system, Drive:Manager and ensuring that Marie Curie had the highest level fleet consultancy input.”
Leasedrive has raised over £45,000 for the charity by completing two bike rides, one from London to Paris in 2008 and another from its Wokingham HQ to Le Mans last year.
Jeremy Sothcott, Fleet Manager at Marie Curie Cancer Care, believes Leasedrive deliver the most bang for their buck.
“When we went out to tender, we wanted to ensure that we were gaining maximum value from our fleet provider,” he explained.
“After careful scrutiny, we were satisfied that this was indeed the case with Leasedrive from whom we will be receiving additional dashboard reporting.”
