Burnt Tree has announced that it has reached the milestone of 10,000 vehicles on rent, with one of 121 brand new Ford Transits delivered to Murphy taking them over the threshold.

Maria Vizard, national account manager at Burnt Tree, said: “We’re obviously thrilled with the Murphy deal. It’s groundbreaking in many respects for Burnt Tree because it’s also our largest ‘Fix and Flex’ order to date as well.”

Richard Metcalfe, chief executive of Burnt Tree, added: “Reaching 10,000 vehicles on rent in the current economic climate is a staggering achievement and testament to the quality and dedication of our people.

“Burnt Tree’s philosophy of tailoring its services to meet client needs combined with a focus on delivering outstanding levels of quality and service had been rewarded with a large increase in new customers and the continued loyalty of long-standing clients.”
