EAGLE Star fleet manager Jim Turner has assumed responsibility for sister company Allied Dunbar's fleet after their parent company merged some operations.

Turner's promotion follows the departure of Allied Dunbar fleet manager Colin Grange, who has not been replaced. Turner now has responsibility for a fleet of around 3,500 vehicles. Last month parent company BAT Industries said it was to merge a number of facilities under a new umbrella division, IT and Group Services, which now covers both fleets.
