LeasePlan has appointed ATS, National Tyres and Fleet Tyre Network for its new tyre fitment network, dropping its previous supplier, Kwik-Fit.

The leasing company says the appointment of three new suppliers gives it an increased UK-wide capability and coverage for both cars and commercial vehicle tyre replacement and repairs.

Neil Dixon, head of procurement and supplier management at LeasePlan UK, said: “We are delighted to announce the appointment of ATS, National Tyres and Fleet Tyre Network as LeasePlan’s new tyre fitment suppliers for 2016 and beyond.

"Following a rigorous selection process, we awarded the business to the three suppliers that demonstrated the scale, capability and great customer service necessary to meet the needs of our drivers, regardless of their location or vehicle type. 

“LeasePlan is committed to delivering a high quality driver experience. We demand an innovative, customer focussed approach to the management of our drivers’ vehicles, and it is vital that our suppliers share this ethos.

"We are therefore confident this network will bring significant benefits to our customers.”
