Multifleet Vehicle Management has delivered two electric SUV vehicles as part of its expanding service for St John Ambulance Service in Wales.
 
Multifleet, which trades as runyourfleet and is based in Solihull, has provided the pair of Kia Niro SUVs on contract hire for use in a community project run by St John Ambulance Cymru.
 
The new vehicles come at the same time as runyourfleet’s contract with St John has developed to level 3, the top level of fleet management, which means managing all aspects of the organisation’s fleet of 85-plus ambulances, minibuses and support vehicles.
 
Benjamin Savage, chief operating officer at St John Ambulance Cymru, said: “We’ve found real value in the fleet management services provided by runyourfleet, who have proved themselves to be efficient and cost-effective.
 
“Most of our vehicles have been purchased, and we started with runyourfleet’s fleet management at level 1, soon increasing it to level 2, and we have now agreed on a level 3 arrangement.
 
“This means runyourfleet really is taking the headache of fleet management away, allowing us to focus on what we’re good at – first aid treatment, training and transport for communities across Wales.
 
“We’ve also taken delivery of two Kia Niro’s on contract hire from runyourfleet, and there is the potential for this to expand, subject to our usual competitive tendering.”
 
Luke Savage, key account manager at runyourfleet, explained how the outsourced fleet management with St John now included regular servicing, MoTs, the checking of driving licences and registration documents, leasing and short-term rental.
 
Mr Savage said: “We’ve been able to show St John Ambulance Cymru the quality of services we offer, and we’re delighted that our contract with them is now expanding.
 
“We have evolved from light-touch fleet management and specialist breakdown cover to supporting the business in all key areas of outsourced fleet management.
 
“We’re also delighted to have started leasing vehicles for their community projects, something we supported with long term rental previously, and we hope to expand this over time.”
