VAUXHALL has secured a solus deal with the Alto Group, which supplies and services photocopiers and faxes, to replace its 135-strong mixed fleet. To date 28 vehicles - 23 Astra estates, four Vectras and an Omega - have been delivered to the Group by Vauxhall Business Centre Adams of Tipton on contract hire with Vauxhall Master Hire.

Fleet manager Mike Winyard said: 'Vauxhall Master Hire's scheme provided the best value. As well as a good price, Master Hire's package offered a number of additional benefits such as centralised billing, which cuts paperwork to a minimum, the important advantage of cashflow and cost predictions and no depreciation or disposal worries.'
