Wales & West Utilities operates the gas distribution network throughout Wales and the South West of England serving more than 2.5 million gas consumers.
BT Fleet was appointed following a detailed tender process and will manage Wales & West Utilities’ fleet of heavy vehicles, LCVs and plant.
Andrew Pettiford, fleet manager, Wales & West Utilities, said: ‘We chose BT Fleet as fleet management partners for Wales & West Utilities as they were considered best in class. They have the experience of managing large commercial vehicle fleets, supported by a quality garage network that will ensure our fleet stays on the road.’
In addition to ensuring vehicle downtime is kept to a minimum, BT Fleet will also take responsibility for managing Wales & West Utilities’ fleet supplier network. As part of this process, BT Fleet has already rationalised the supplier network, consolidating it into a strategic list of partners to create an efficient, time-saving supplier framework.
