DIAL Assure, the accident management arm of the Dial Contracts Group, has won a 510-vehicle contract from Norsk Data. The company will provide a comprehensive service, ranging from 24-hour driver rescue and vehicle recovery to claims administration, repair management and invoice vetting and processing.

Norsk Data and its subsidiary ND ServiceTeam, a leading IT services group, hope to achieve substantial cost savings and improved standards of driver care through the suppliers' sophisticated service systems. Fifty of Norsk Data's vehicles are on contract hire agreements with Dial Major Corporate, a division of Dial set up to meet the specific needs of larger fleets.
