Venson Automotive Solutions has appointed vGroup International to provide safety kits for newly supplied company cars and light commercial vehicles.

The kits are in addition to the Milton Keynes-based company providing number plates, vehicle handover paperwork and a card holder for all vehicles and branded mats for company cars and rubber mats and seat covers for vans.

Accessories were previously supplied by another organisation and Gil Kelly, operations director at Venson Automotive Solutions, said: “We see the provision of safety kits in all our vehicles as an important element of occupational road risk management.

“It is important to ensure that drivers have all the tools they need to help maintain their vehicles in the best possible condition such as tyre pressure and tread depth gauges.

“Additionally, in the event of an incident involving themselves or another road user it is important drivers have equipment to help ensure safety at the roadside such as a warning triangle and hi-vis vest.”

Venson Automotive Solutions, which has signed a three-year supply contract, is now among more than 100 contract hire and leasing companies and brokers across the UK equipping vehicles with safety kits provided by vGroup International.
