Who better to turn to when planning the radical restructure of your European fleet operation as a centralised, outsourced solution than an experienced former managing director of a fleet management company?

Ivor Johnson, ex-MD of Fleet Logistics and operations director at Leasedrive Velo, joined pharmaceutical giant Pfizer in 2008 as European regional fleet lead, bringing substantial knowledge of running outsourced operations on behalf of fleets.

His brief was to establish a “high performing” fleet function which served the needs of both benefit and job-need company car drivers.

Initially, the fleet team had been responsible for the operations associated with fleet management, excluding procurement.
