CONTRACT hire and leasing giant Lloyds TSB autolease has expanded its offering with the creation of a new commercial vehicle team.

The company, named best contract hire/fleet management company in the 2004 Fleet News Awards, said its Specialist Commercial Vehicle Unit (SCVU) offered vehicles of up to 6.5 tonnes and included everything from curtainsiders to fridges, standard white panel vans and tipping bodies.
