RECRUITMENT company Rand-stad has taken delivery of 20 all-white MINIs as incentives for senior branch staff.

The MINI One 1.6 petrol models bear the company logo and were supplied by contract hire and leasing specialist Tuskerdirect.

The company, which operates a fleet of 140 cars, is keen to increase its awareness in areas surrounding its branches across the UK.

The cars – contract hired over three years/60,000 miles – are for high-mileage senior members of the branch teams. Tuskerdirect suggested the change because good residual values on the MINI One make it as cost-effective from a wholelife cost viewpoint as smaller- engined cars from other manufacturers.

Tuskerdirect sales and marketing director David Hosking said: ‘We felt that the Randstad branch staff were doing high annual mileages in cars that weren’t really suitable for the purpose and felt that they needed larger-engined vehicles to cope with the extra mileages.’
