Expert “own managed” maintenance

Jim Salkeld, director of Premier Blue and an expert in helping businesses to make savings on their company cars, said: “Clearly, leasing companies make their maintenance profits by using both their expertise and buying power.

“However, the sort of arrangements and discounts that they negotiate are also available to SMEs who wish to manage their own vehicles, through an expert authorisations team supported by a UK network of dealers and agents.

“Companies such as ours – Premier Blue – are experts in helping companies manage their own fleet maintenance requirements. It’s worth consideration before you either try to do it yourself or buy into a maintenance package to support your company car fleet.”
