Nationwide Fleet Installations buys Avian Fleet

Nationwide Fleet Installations has acquired Avian Fleet for an undisclosed sum, uniting two of the UK’s largest independent installers.

The deal doubles the firm’s engineering coverage in the UK and comes at a time when the fleet industry is increasingly seeking technological solutions to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability. 

Graham Appleyard, managing director of Nationwide Fleet Installations, said: “Adding Avian Fleet’s expertise to our portfolio strengthens our capacity to offer hassle-free installations across the UK.

“Together, we have completed over three million installations in the last 30 years and are looking forward to helping fleets of all sizes simplify their telematics and vehicle technology installations through a single installation partner.” 

The acquisition, according to Nationwide Fleet Installations, will enable it to better meet the engineering needs of fleet managers and technology providers across the country as they invest in technology to reduce accidents, protect their assets and increase productivity.  

The team at Avian Fleet have been installing vehicle technologies since 1987. Graham Price, managing director of Avian Fleet, said: “Joining forces with Nationwide heralds a new chapter for our team.

“Nationwide's unwavering dedication to quality and customer satisfaction will help maintain Avian Fleet’s legacy and deliver great opportunities to our employees and customers.”
