FAMILY-RUN business Chasetown Civil Engineering is now running a more efficient fleet thanks to a bespoke solution from fleet management provider CBVC Vehicle Management.
Staffordshire-based Chasetown Civil Engineering operates across the Midlands and Northwest specialising in infrastructure, groundworks and related building services. It employs almost 500 people with a fleet of mainly light commercial vehicles.
CBVC began managing Chasetown’s fleet in 2020 and the two businesses quickly developed a strong partnership to manage the difficulties presented by the pandemic. This included a comprehensive fleet management solution with a particular focus on service maintenance and repair (SMR).
“Prior to working with CBVC, we managed all the service, maintenance and repair requirements ourselves. We would be going out across our sites, swapping vehicles and losing significant man hours to travel – we were also maintaining a fleet of temporary replacement vehicles and managing all the admin.
“CBVC has implemented an excellent fleet solution for us and taken away the burden of fleet management. The SMR solution in particular means that we now have a much more efficient fleet.”
To manage the van maintenance and minimise driver travel time, CBVC set up access to a network of dealers and independents, located close to each Chasetown customer site, and agreed discounted labour and parts rates. The process of driver liaison, booking and verified authorisation is managed by the CBVC, which then supplies monthly consolidated billing to Chasetown.
“We’re really proud of our bespoke solution for Chasetown and the improvement we’ve made to the fleet’s efficiency. Our focus is on building long term customer relationships and it’s a real testament to the work of the team that we’re entering our fourth year working with Chasetown. The next phase is to support Chasetown on its sustainability journey, so we’re currently working with the team on an electric van trial.”
CBVC Vehicle Management also has a separate contract with Chasetown’s holding company, Tara Group for managing the company’s grey fleet – including licence checking for its subsidiaries Cameron Homes and Keon Homes.
