The fleet is supplied on long-term hire and comprises: Mercedes Actros tractors, fitted with a range of fuel-saving technology and safety features; 3.5-tonne panel vans; Luton-bodied vehicles; 7.5-tonne to 18-tonne rigid vehicles with box bodies; and single-deck and double-deck semi-trailers.
The deal also includes management of fleet uptime and compliance, plus accident management.
“The most important thing for me is the level of account management Prohire is prepared to put in,” says Phil Haskew, national transport manager for Bunzl Catering Supplies.
“Obviously this is a lot to do with the individual people at Prohire, but it’s also a fact that the company is not bound by the sort of rules that the biggest providers always seem to have. Prohire tailors its support to suit our specific needs, in effect providing a bespoke transport solution.”
