COMMUNICATIONS company Anixter International has appointed VELO in a sole supply contract hire deal.

The company will manage and maintain the 100 strong Anixter fleet, which includes a help desk facility, accident management, short term hire and breakdown assistance.

Tony Johnston, VELO sales and marketing director, said: Anixter previously used several suppliers and so we are delighted with this new solus contract. In recent months, we have seen several existing clients moving to VELO from multi to solus supply deals which I believe reflects the quality and breadth of our service.'
