RYLAND Multifleet has formed a partnership with the National Federation of Builders to provide its 5,000 members with advice and special packages on contract hire.

The agreement follows Ryland's negotiation of a similar contract with the British Chambers of Commerce last year. Closely targeted at the smaller fleet buyers often over-looked by larger contract hire companies, the Chambers of Commerce deal has already brought in hundreds of new contracts.

The NFB agreement will work along similar lines, with a special package designed to meet the contract hire needs of the construction industry for both cars and commercial vehicles.
