Ogilvie Fleet has acquired vehicle rental, leasing and subscription firm ONWRD, enabling it to offer a wider range of vehicle types.
ONWRD’s existing customer-facing teams will be retained to ensure continuity for customers, but back-office operations will integrate with Ogilvie Fleet.
The firm provides cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy goods vehicles and specialist vehicles to industries such as infrastructure, building supplies, construction, marine and education.
Ogilvie Fleet said the acquisition will provide customers with increased flexibility, access to a wider range of vehicles and the combined purchasing strength of both businesses.
ONWRD is based in Cambridgeshire and was founded 16 years ago.
Ian Bennett (pictured, right), rental director at Ogilvie Fleet, said: “ONWRD is a strong cultural fit for Ogilvie Fleet. Both businesses share a customer-first approach and a commitment to doing business in the right way.
“By bringing ONWRD into the Ogilvie Fleet group of businesses, we can broaden the range of solutions we offer and better support clients with their diverse and evolving fleet requirements.”
Mark Thompson (pictured, left), managing director at ONWRD, said: “Joining Ogilvie Fleet, a long-established independent leasing provider with more than 45 years’ experience, is an important step for ONWRD.
“The scale, stability and reputation Ogilvie has built over that time strengthens our ability to support clients across a wider range of fleet and mobility requirements, while maintaining the flexibility, service standards and customer focus they expect from us.”
