DISABILITY charity Mencap has signed a sole supplier contract with Skoda.

The carmaker will provide 180 Octavia and Fabia cars over the next three years, for employees travelling more than 10,000 business miles a year. Susan Kernachan, fleet manager for Mencap, said: ‘After many years of offering our employees a triple badge choice of company cars, we made the decision to switch to a single supplier as part of a cost-cutting exercise.’
