Contract hire switch for leading executive chauffer fleet
April 2007
Tristar appointed Daimler Fleet Management (DFM) to provide 21 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Elegance models.
Based near Heathrow airport, Tristar is the UK's largest chauffeur drive company and one of the world's leading chauffeur organisations, carrying over 400,000 passengers for 400 clients, in 38 countries last year alone. They offer a consistently high level of doorstep-to-destination chauffeur services across the UK, and have offices worldwide. They directly employ 700 staff with a fleet of 600 vehicles across operational hubs in London and Manchester.
Tristar had previously favoured outright purchase, but DFM was able to offer a favourable contract hire agreement over 30 months.
Andy Hohne, Tristar’s CFO, said “We have found DFM to be both knowledgeable and responsive, going that extra mile to ensure that we get the most suitable, high quality vehicles for our business with the most appropriate fleet funding method. It has been a pleasure to work with DFM, as they share the same service excellence ethos as Tristar.”
