DAY'S Contract Hire has launched a new partnership with Overdrive Business Solutions to improve its network of services and launch a maintenance card.

The deal gives Day's access to the 12,000-strong independent network of workshops, fast-fit and other outlets under the Overdrive umbrella, along with the access to the network's economies of scale.

Aled Williams, general manager of Day's Contract Hire, said: 'The benefits that we enjoy from this partnership, in quality of service and reduced costs, are passed on directly, allowing us to remain competitive, while still providing the personal service that needs to be given.'

Neil Monks, national sales and commercial manager for Overdrive, said: 'For those businesses who are unable to compete with larger rivals, an association with Overdrive offers the perfect solution.'
