M&G Vehicle Hire joins Driving for Better Business

M&G Vehicle Hire Ltd., a subsidiary of Northgate plc., has become the latest vehicle rental company to sign up as a business champion for the government backed Driving for Better Business programme managed by RoadSafe.

M&G Vehicle Hire Ltd. is based in Hull, Chesterfield, Doncaster, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Sheffield. Its primary target is the commercial vehicle hire market in South and East Yorkshire as well as North Lincolnshire. But its modern fleet of almost 5700 vehicles is available to the market throughout the United Kingdom from these 6 sites.

Adrian Kilvington, Managing Director of M&G Vehicle Hire Ltd, said: “We are delighted that our commitment to delivering high standards for health and safety within our own business and to our customers’ has been recognized and that we have an opportunity to make a contribution to the Driving for Better Business programme. M&G Vehicle Hire Ltd. is committed to safety in all elements of our operations, particularly where they affect our customers.”

“Working alongside RoadSafe is an excellent way to put that commitment to good use. Their Driving for Better Business programme will help raise the awareness of the risks whilst driving at work and will assist employers in fulfilling their duty of care responsibilities for their employees. Anything we can do to help them in that mission will be time well spent”.

M&G Vehicle Hire is proud of the fact that it offers its customers what they need. The company is prepared to modify its vehicles in its workshops to ensure that they meet customers’ requirements, including the complete branding of vehicles into its customers’ company colours.

M&G Vehicle Hire Ltd. delivers two key commitments to its customers. First, safety is a high priority for the company and it takes its legal obligations for duty of care serious. This approach applies equally to its customers. It ensures that its vehicles are comprehensively serviced to aid compliance with its customers’ duty of care responsibilities. Second, every vehicle is inspected by an IRTEC qualified mechanic and signed off as meeting the company’s road safety standards prior to issue to a customer. This process is applied every time the vehicle is hired out, even if more than once in a single day.

M&G Vehicle Hire Ltd. employs about 25 full time drivers across the group and has approximately 20 agency drivers working for it on a daily basis. These drivers are used to collect and deliver the company’s hire vehicles across the United Kingdom.

M&G Vehicle Hire Ltd. values its drivers and employees as individuals for the contribution they make to creating the company’s image in the minds of its customers. This image is founded on their commitment to individual responsibility, values and to the company’s corporate standards.

M&G Vehicle Hire Ltd has built a reputation for conducting its business with honesty and integrity and in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The company sees this reputation as a most valuable asset and seeks to promote honest and ethical conduct.

M&G Vehicle Hire Ltd. will support the Driving for Better Business programme by presenting their views on the importance of the proper management of driving for work at conferences and seminars.
