Begbies Traynor Group has completed a sale and leaseback deal with Zenith for its 153 company cars. Zenith provides leasing of the vehicles through contract hire, along with fully outsourced fleet management.

The move to a leased arrangement with Zenith has been carried out to increase driver choice and reduce internal administration, whilst providing greater control over fleet spend. Drivers now have an open choice of vehicles from all the main manufacturers, with a 150g/km cap on CO2 emissions.

Zenith has created a new driver portal for the Group’s drivers, facilitating on-line ordering and in-life vehicle services, such as servicing and maintenance.

John Robinson, group human resources manager, comments: “Zenith was recommended to us by one of their existing customers due to their extremely high service levels. By working with Zenith we now have much more control and visibility over our fleet costs, reduced our administration and are able to provide a great service to our drivers.”
