LEASING company Lex Autolease has agreed a six year deal with automotive maintenance and repair company, Kwik Fit.
The agreement will see Lex Autolease, which operates a fleet of almost 360,000 company cars and vans, buy well in excess of one million tyres during the lifetime of the contract.
The deal covers both fitment carried out in Kwik Fit’s nationwide network of more than 600 centres and also by its 200-strong Mobile fleet. Vehicle servicing and MoTs are also part of the agreement.
Lex Autolease commercial director Andy Hartley said:
“Contracts like this can only be won by supply partners who truly understand the requirements of their customers. This is supported by the fact that the Kwik Fit team spend many hours with Lex Autolease employees at all levels of our business to gain detailed insight into not only our demands but those of our end-user fleet customers.”
Both companies have been working together for nearly 30 years.
Andy Fern, Kwik Fit fleet sales director, added:
“We believe the new contract with Lex Autolease, which will run to the end of 2025, is one of the largest and most significant tyre and mechanical services deals in the history of the UK fleet industry and is reflective of an open and honest business relationship.”
