LeasePlan UK has renewed its tyre repair, replacement and management contract with Kwik Fit Fleet for a further five years.

LeasePlan UK, which has almost 120,000 funded vehicles on its books, has worked in a similar capacity with Kwik-Fit Fleet over past years,and formalised its business relationship in 2004 with a three-year contract.

Graham Rixon, operations director at LeasePlan UK, said: "We aim to provide exceptional service to our customers, and an effective tyre replacement programme is a key element. Fleet drivers need to remain mobile and to do so on safe, reliable tyres.

"Kwik-Fit has already demonstrated a high level of performance with our previous contract, and this has led directly to this new deal.
