Help offered to companies impacted by closure of All Fleet Services

Fleet Assist is offering companies affected by the closure of All Fleet Services access to its range of services to help them keep their vehicles and drivers on the road in the coming weeks.

This includes service booking, technical authorisation, access to its network of 5,200 franchised and independent garages and VE103B processing.

Vincent St. Claire, Fleet Assist’s managing director, said: “We are deeply sorry to hear the news about All Fleet Services.

“Our team will do anything it can to assist companies with keeping their company vehicles safe and compliant over the next few weeks.”

The closure of All Fleet Services has been been blamed on the collapse of Carillion in 2018 and the pandemic. 

The Gloucestershire-based fleet management company, which was established in 2003, had a workforce of 39 full-time equivalent staff.

In a statement, All Fleet Services managing director Dave Scobie said: "The start of a series of factors that conspired against us can be traced back to January 2018, when Carillion went into administration. Our business suffered a substantial six-figure loss because of this.”

He explained that despite the best efforts of the management team and its “fantastic” staff, it was not possible to recover from this.

A petition to wind up All Fleet Services by HMRC was heard in the High Court on August 17.

St. Claire said: “We have the resource to take on the additional volumes to give companies the time they need to reflect on and plan their future fleet management strategy.”
