COMPUTER firm Safe Computing is replacing its solus Rover fleet with Hondas following a switch from outright purchase to contract hire. The 30-strong fleet, mainly Honda Accords and Aerodecks, will be supplied to the fleet over the next 18 months following a deal with contract hire firm Dial.

Mark James, company secretary to Safe Computing, based in Leicester, said: 'We carry a lot of equipment, so we needed something with plenty of space. Because our staff drive a lot of company miles, their cars have to be reliable and comfortable and they are getting a lot more car for their money.'
