Marston Holdings chooses Zenith

Marston Holdings (Marston), one of the UK's largest judicial services groups, has launched a new commercial vehicle and car scheme with Zenith.

The scheme covers 120 vehicles, including standard vans, specialist vehicles and cars. The vehicles are funded by contract hire and Zenith is providing full vehicle maintenance and accident management. In addition, Marston has 200 short-term hire vehicles, managed by Zenith on a day-to-day basis, with some vehicles transferring over to contract hire on expiry of existing contracts.

As part of the implementation, Zenith conducted a whole life cost analysis to establish the most cost efficient scheme structure.

John Crichton, chief financial officer at Marston, said: “Our vehicle scheme has already improved by using Zenith; it has seen a consolidation of all of our reporting onto Zenith’s Pulse reporting platform. The programme provides a one-stop-shop solution, meeting all of our van and car requirements. It has provided both our back office staff and drivers with an enhanced service delivery, along with added value through operational efficiencies and we expect to benefit from this further going forward.”
