The deal was won after a five-way tender, in which Asset Alliance outperformed the others by offering “the most competitive deal with the fastest turnaround”, according to Brian Nicholls, the operator’s procurement, transport and compliance manager. It is the first time the company has used the CV finance and leasing specialist.
Nicholls adds: “The sales team bent over backwards to help us in every way, even ensuring light bars and livery were added to the units just before delivery when our usual supplier let us down.
“Within 24 hours of signing the paperwork, we had delivery dates for the new units and now they are in service.”
Cardiff Container Link moves up to 400 containers each week week to all major ports in the UK; the new vehicles bring its all-DAF fleet to 13.
