BJF Connections has signed a four year deal with Pendragon Vehicle Management, for supply of its growing fleet of cars and vans.

The deal was signed following previous positive experience of Pendragon's customer service, combined with cost saving expertise.

Mostly used by engineers, the vehicles will also be used by a number of project managers, senior operations managers, quantity surveyors and the senior management team.

Pendragon Vehicle Management is supplying all vehicles on a contract hire basis, alongside maintenance and fuel card provision which further help to reduce costs. Planning to triple in size over the next few years, BJF Connections’ fleet will in turn grow so reducing CO² emissions will be a main focus over the term of the contract, with a high proportion of low emission diesel and hybrid models being introduced into the fleet.

Don Urquhart, head of SHEQ at BJF Connections, said: “A reliable and efficient fleet is vital to our business, and it is important for us to reduce costs in this area. Pendragon Vehicle Management offered a great service, understanding our needs and delivering flexible solutions, whilst providing access to a wide range of vehicles. In particular, their online fleet management system works really well for us, providing a one-stop administration point which helps us to better manage the time and man power spent on this area. We look forward to working together as we introduce more environmentally friendly vehicles to the fleet.”

Neal Francis, divisional managing director at Pendragon Vehicle Management, added: “Pendragon Vehicle Management really welcomes working with unique clients such as BJF Connections, listening to their bespoke requirements and delivering against them. We were able to establish a precise number of key requirements and therefore recommend a suite of solutions to help drive down costs, supported by our online fleet management system. We’re delighted to have another satisfied customer.”
