NATIONAL bakery firm Warburtons has awarded a slice of its fleet action to Arval PHH.

Arval's Business Customer Division will supply 150 cars and offer a range of services including contract hire, fleet management, daily rental, fuel cards, accident management and rental packages to Warburtons, alongside salary-linked upgrade packages.

Clive Forsythe, managing director of Arval PHH's business customer division, said: 'We worked with Warburtons to ensure drivers have a flexible policy from which to choose.

'We've made sure the policy is not just about vehicle provision by providing a 24-hour accident management helpline for all drivers, while removing the administrative burden from the human resources team by adopting some of the tasks usually undertaken by companies with dedicated fleet resources.'

Arval has also helped Warburtons to redesign its fleet policy, providing staff with greater flexibility.

Steve Lynas, group human resources business partner at Warburtons, said: 'It is important to give our staff choice and flexibility. We now have a generous company car policy that offers our drivers a great selection.'
