LEX Vehicle Leasing has won a solus deal to supply 230 cars and vans to Furmanite on contract management. Kendal-based Furmanite, which provides specialist services for the petrochemical, power, offshore and marine industries, previously operated its vehicles on finance lease contracts.

Lex now provides a replacement car on contract hire each time a three-year finance lease expires. In the meantime it is managing the maintenance of the fleet and, by the millennium, the entire fleet is set to be on full maintenance contract hire with Lex. Lex is also providing accident management, as well as the Lex One-Call service to ensure Furmanite service engineers are always mobile.
