LEEDS-based insurance broker, the Smithson Mason Group, has decided to transform its multi-make and model vehicle fleet into an exclusively Honda affair for its 30-strong car operation. The company has placed orders for the 1.8 S, 2.0 Executive and Type V or R versions of the Accord.

Financial Controller Andy Byard said: 'Although we are a long-established family firm, we have never maximised our fleet buying power until now. That simply couldn't continue and going solus has allowed us to use our potential volume-buying power for the first time.'
