One of Leading Edge’s biggest clients is tyre specialist, ATS. Matthew Evans, managing director of Leading Edge, explains how safety across ATS’s fleet is achieved: “ATS currently have over 1000 vehicles on the road, each one is covered by a five year lease. Leading Edge’s role is to apply the safety markings, maintain them through the life of the lease providing any repairs necessary, and also decommission them at the end of the vehicles working life and prepare them for re-sale.
“By using one company which is able to cover the whole of the UK, the client can ensure consistency in the colour, materials and quality across all our vans. Different vehicles require specific markings, whether it is the ‘battenberg’ style checks on police cars or chevrons traditionally associated with ambulances, so we consider each vehicle individually.
“We also pre-prepare and store a variety of Chapter 8 livery so that we can deliver and install them at a moment’s notice wherever they are needed. As all our facilities are 3M approved and we use only 3M products, such as retroreflective and microprismatic materials, we can ensure that the high visibility markings we produce stay in peak condition year after year," he added.
