LEX Defence supplied almost 1,000 vehicles to the armed forces during the firefighter strikes, notching up a 100% increase in hire bookings prior to each strike.

The group has pledged to provide vehicles in the event of future strikes with a range of motorcycles, cars and vans available. The vehicles were used for support services to the breathing apparatus response teams.

Lex Defence also provides a fleet of 13,000 vehicles to the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force and the Ministry of Defence.
