Fred Macdonald, fleet manager Wilson Electrical Distributors
How many vehicles are you responsible for?
What funding method do you use?
What do you enjoy most about your job?
And the least?
Dealing with the prosecution of parking tickets.
Why did you join the fleet industry?
Do you have any amusing stories about your drivers?
We have 14 delivery vans (mostly Ford Transits) and eight cars for directors and branch managers.
We purchase our vehicles outright and have always done so.
The knowledge that I have ensured my drivers are driving well-maintained and presentable vehicles to show our firm off in the best light.
It happened by chance when I moved to head office to take up other administrative work. I was appointed by the managing director and I’m pleased I was.
One of our drivers encountered a large horse box carrying horses for the Spanish polo team. The driver was an Argentinean with sat-nav which had sent him along a lane that was too narrow for his vehicle.
