Almost two-thirds (62%) of fleet operators say that their business is not affected by bank holidays, according to a survey of 100 fleet operators by vehicle tracking website TrackCompare.

However, 26% feel that bank holidays do have a negative impact on their business with just 12% saying that bank holidays have a positive effect on their business.

The majority of respondents (72%) think that the number of bank holiday should remain the same although nearly a fifth (17%) think there should be fewer bank holidays.
