Steve Critchley, fleet manager NWN

How many vehicles are you responsible for and how are they funded?

We have a total of 110 vehicles which are mainly leased with the exception of seven vehicles which are owned.

Did you always envisage a career in fleet?

I have never envisaged a career in fleet. Fleet management relates to a small fraction of my role as general manager.

I initially took over control of the fleet on a temporary basis for three months, which has led to permanent responsibility.

What are you working on at the moment?

At this moment in time I am working on a relocation project, cost-saving initiatives (just like everyone else, I suppose) and re-assessing the whole fleet system.

If you weren’t working in fleet what would your dream job be?

My dream job would be to be a racing driver or international jetsetter.

What’s your favourite album?

I have a wide taste in music, but the album I have listened to most is probably Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits.
