Another Volkswagen Group Leasing convert is leading bathroom products manufacturer, Twyford Bathrooms, which has signed a dual-badge contract with Volkswagen Group Leasing to supply its fleet of mainly Audi and Volkswagen vehicles after a competitive evaluation exercise in the market.

Volkswagen Group Leasing is now exclusively supplying the 80-strong fleet at the Stoke-on Trent based business with all its vehicles, as well as handling maintenance and management through the Audi and Volkswagen retailer networks.

Twyford's Head of Human Resources, Hilary Tew, said that the company had opted for Volkswagen Group Leasing to replace its existing contract hire supplier because the prices quoted were the most competitive, and because of the attitude of their fleet personnel.

"Everyone involved from Volkswagen Group Leasing and the retailer networks were very attuned to our needs, and there was a high level of customer service to complement the very competitive prices, " she said. The user-chooser Twyford fleet was already composed of 60% Audi and Volkswagen models through driver choice, so the transition to a dual-badged deal had met with very few objections from the drivers. Twyford drivers are now being offered a choice of Volkswagen Passat, Audi A4 and Audi A6 models.

"From an HR perspective there were very few issues in moving over to Audi and Volkswagen models only," added Hilary Tew. Tim Johnson commented : "The JJB Sports and Twyfords Bathrooms contracts epitomise the sort of success we have been seeing at Volkswagen Group Leasing. Our real strength is in the medium-sized fleet market, where customers still value good service. "We tailor our offering to meet our customers needs. And we can provide a complete function including all driver contact, or we can interface with a client's existing fleet structure, providing any or all of the services they require.

"We pride ourselves on our ability to offer a one-stop shop for companies requring a flexible approach, with competitive contract hire rentals backed by quality customer support from our dedicated customer service department at Volkswagen Group Leasing," he added.
