Gerry McQuade, CEO of BT Wholesale and Ventures, says the acquisition will accelerate BT’s plans to provide fixed and mobile service, maintenance and repair (SMR) facilities for business critical fleets, to accompany its fleet management services.
“This is an important acquisition for BT Fleet, as it allows us to deliver an even better customer experience by offering greater flexibility and convenience around how and where their vehicles are maintained and serviced,” states McQuade.
“SEV’s position in the marketplace makes it the natural choice of partner as we look to combine the strength of our fixed garage network with a fully mobile team of technicians,” he adds.
“This is a truly amazing time for SEV and we are delighted to be joining BT Fleet,” comments Geoff Allison, managing director of SEV, who founded the business in 2014.
“With our combined operations and expertise, I’m confident we will deliver the service that customers require in this ever demanding market place.”
Sixty employees from SEV will become part of the BT Fleet team. Allison will become mobile operations director on the BT Fleet leadership team, reporting to managing director Henry Brace.
