Supply chain management specialist Fleet Assist has secured a three-year extension to its business partnership with Sinclair Finance and Leasing.

The leasing specialist, which currently operates a fleet of 3,600 cars and vans, has used Fleet Assist’s nationwide network of more than 5,000 garages to undertake service, maintenance and repair (SMR) work on vehicles supplied to customers across the UK for the past three years.

Sinclair Finance and Leasing also uses Fleet Assist to provide an out-of-hours call service for its company car and van drivers.

Kerry Thomas, director of  Sinclair Finance and Leasing, said: “We operate nationally and our fleet size continues to grow. 

"We therefore require a best in class garage network providing full national coverage, and a network management company that is proven to deliver SMR solutions to customers.”

Additionally, Sinclair Finance and Leasing benefits from Fleet Assist’s data warehousing and analysis capabilities.

Sinclair Finance and Leasing is part of the Sinclair Group, which comprises 19 franchises across Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Seat, Skoda, Smart, Volkswagen and Volkswagen Commercial brands.
