Market research company Taylor Nelson Sofres is to centralise its UK fleet management function and introduce an accident management system.

The firm has appointed CLM Fleet Management to look after its 130-strong fleet, which was previously de-centralised with a number of different offices taking individual decisions.

The new centralised approach aims to reduce administration, while also cutting the costs associated with accidents.

CLM was selected by Taylor Nelson Sofres after a tender exercise involving a number of contract hire and fleet management competitors.
