FAST-growing Ryland Multifleet has launched a new fleet management operation to provide a one-stop service to companies which own their vehicles. Ryland Fleet Solutions is being run by John McKillop, who has 20 years' experience in the fleet industry having working for both Kwik-Fit and Cowie Interleasing.

In the past year Ryland Multifleet has increased its contract hire fleet from 6,000 to 10,000 vehicles with half the growth being organic and the remaining vehicles added following the acquisition of Soans of Leamington and its 2,000-strong leasing operation Soans Vehicle Contracts. Fleets will be offered a menu of fleet management services and will be charged a monthly fee for the services they have chosen.
