Mark Tyler, national operations manager
Sirva UK

Describe your fleet.

We have 680 vehicles – 180 mixed badge cars, 100 LCVs and 400 HGVs.

 

How did you get into fleet?

I’ve been with the company for 16 years and started as a trainee manager. I always wanted to work with vehicles, so I started to get more involved with the firm’s fleet.

What do you enjoy most about the role?

I love the variety and the people involved. One day you can be looking at new liveries and new vehicles, and the next you’re looking at how to benefit the environment.

What challenges have you faced in the role?

Learning fleet management techniques and keeping up to date with the new duty-of-care and compliance laws, as a support function of my role.

What are you most proud of recently?

We’ve recently completed the purchase of 65 new vehicles.

How do you relax at weekends?

I’m a Tottenham supporter and enjoy watching football.
