School bus leasing and service provider Castle Minibus has signed a deal with BT Fleet Solutions to deliver minibus safety inspections across the UK.
BT Fleet Solutions’ 50-plus engineers will provide more than 10,000 safety inspections, pre-MOT checks and MOT collect-and-return services.
Castle Minibus, an advisor to more than 2,000 UK independent and state schools, believes the new deal will lead to improved safety, better compliance reporting and reduced vehicle downtime.
Chris Maynard, managing director of Castle Minibus, says: “Schools operating under a Section 19 permit are required to have 10-week safety inspections for vehicles under 12 years old, every six weeks for older vehicles, as well as MOTs and regular servicing, so it’s imperative we have a dependable partner that can deliver these inspections on-site and within the required timescales.”
