INSURANCE company Royal & SunAlliance (R&SA) has signed a fleet risk management contract with Peak Performance.

The deal follows tenders from eight driver training and risk management companies, and will see Peak become the sole supplier of risk management and driver development, through an 11-strong team of dedicated risk consultants.

Steve Stokes, fleet risk manager at R&SA, said: ‘We see this new strategic partnership as providing a value-added service to our fleet customers, which through systematic and carefully targeted driver development, will have the ultimate objective of reducing accident and claims frequency and cutting fleet operating costs.’

Full details of the new risk management service will be rolled out to R&SA’s network of 4,000 insurance brokers early in the new year.
