Essex-based technical support solutions company Uniter Group has taken delivery of 10 Škoda Octavia Estates this week to replace existing fleet stock.

Škoda retailer Darlington's of Harrow supplied the vehicles while Volkswagen Group Leasing handled the financing for the contract hire package.

Peter Buttress, financial director at Uniter Group, said: "Our national fleet of engineers spend a great deal of time travelling from contract to contract, so they need company cars that are reliable, extremely comfortable and fuel-efficient.

"Because we continually strive to reduce our carbon footprint, we need vehicles with low CO2 emissions. Load carrying capacity and running costs are also major factors of importance and the Octavia meets all these requirements, making it the best all-round performer."
