National Highways has signed a three-year, full fleet management contract with Holman.

The deal, which was agreed following a competitive tender via the YPO public sector fleet framework, will see Holman looking after nearly 750 vehicles, with most of them 4x4s and SUVs, including Land Rover Discoverys and BMW X5s.

Holman is said to have impressed National Highways with its expertise in supporting high use operational vehicles, with the fleet requiring very high levels of uptime. Holman will manage maintenance, breakdown, tyres and accidents, as well as provide rental services and fleet administration, including fuel cards and fines.

Holman business development manager Steven Shepherd said: “Being chosen to help manage this vitally important fleet shows the level of support Holman can bring.

“Our team have the knowledge and tools to keep high use operational vehicles on the road, through the identification of trends that are affecting downtime, rectification of those issues through proactive maintenance and repair, and fast-moving action when breakdowns occur, or drivers need a replacement vehicle.”
