Prestige Fleet Servicing has won LeasePlan’s SMR Supplier Excellence Award for the second successive year.

The award was presented on 11 February 2014 at the Crown Plaza Heythrop Park Hotel by Neil Dixon, head of procurement & supplier management, LeasePlan UK to Joe Bhamra, commercial director at Prestige Fleet Servicing.

Bhamra said: "We are delighted to have won the award for the sec-ond year running. Winning it last year was special, but it was important to us to retain it as it reflects the high level of client and driver service we delivered on a consistent basis via our team and our 200 Service Centres across the UK".

Martyn Lewis, CEO of Prestige Fleet Servicin,g said: “Our investment in increasing the number of our accred-ited Service Centres is a demonstration of our commitment to provide fleets with an ever more comprehensive net-work across the UK. In addition to our 200 strong fixed network, we have a UK-wide mobile servicing and major unit capability, and have added new support services such as vehicle inverter installations, checks and de-commissions as part of our one stop solution for customers.

LeasePlan is a world-leading provider of fleet manage-ment services and one of the UK’s largest and most respected leasing companies, so winning the award again rep-resents industry recognition for the support we’ve provided through our UK-wide network of Service Centres.”

Martyn continued: “ Last year we invested even more in training our delivery team, having increased headcount by 20% to support business growth. We have also embarked on a plan to grow our Service Centre coverage in new areas across the UK during 2014.”
