Vehicle Fleet Management Services

In August 2005 PfH launched a new deal for Vehicle Fleet Management Services that could save member organisations between 10 - 30% on vehicles costs. The contract has been jointly awarded to Bank of Scotland Vehicle Finance (BoSVF) and Automotive Leasing, two of the UK's leading providers in the housing sector.

BoSVF and Automotive Leasing will jointly provide the Vehicle Fleet Management Services deal. The companies were awarded the contract through the Official Journal of the European Union after PfH's Financial Services Product Group decided that they provided the most efficient solution for the sector.

The deal includes contract hire and hire purchase for all makes and models of car through to specialist commercial vehicles. PfH Members' staff can also purchase cars through a specially arranged Purchase Contract Hire Scheme.

"Automotive Leasing are committed to delivering this significant contract by building strong relationships with individual housing associations in order to improve their cost efficiency and overall fleet requirements. Our strength lies in our highly skilled and qualified team, whose attention to detail and expertise have helped us to develop an exemplary reputation for customer service. We are delighted to be given this opportunity to develop our business and position as Public Sector fleet specialists in partnership with the housing sector." Jennifer Davis, Divisional Manager - Public Sector

"This scheme builds on our longstanding arrangement with the National Housing Federation and we are delighted to be working with PfH. The Bank Of Scotland is already a major provider of loans and deposits to the Social Housing industry and it is only natural that we should remain strongly committed to providing vehicle finance in that sector. We will do all in our power to make our relationship with PfH and its Members a great success." - Graham Hale, Head of Corporate - BOSVF
