KERRIDGE Automotive Systems claims to have an order book for its fleet computer systems worth almost £1 million following business success at the 1996 Fleet Show at Silverstone in April. As a result Kerridge Automotive Fleet Systems has expanded its fleet team by almost a third to cope with demand for its fleet, transport management and contract hire products.

General manager Pat Murphy said: 'Several new fleet specialists have already joined the company covering customer support, systems installations and product development in particular, and further recruitment is now under way.' The company specialises in providing integrated cross-function business computer systems to rental, leasing and fleet management companies as well as dealers.
