BARLOW Handling has chosen LeasePlan to handle its fleet of 1,000 vehicles. The Maidenhead-based supplier of lift trucks and materials handling operation has a fleet of 700 company vans, mainly Ford, and 300 multi-badge cars.

Alan Knight, financial director at Barlow Handling, said: 'LeasePlan's e-commerce services which allow our drivers to generate their own quotations and place orders within the parameter of our fleet policy will be a huge benefit to us, helping significantly to reduce our administration.'
