Ogilvie Fleet breaks leasing milestone and reports record growth

Ogilvie Fleet has reported record growth of 9%, surpassing 22,000 on-risk vehicles for the first time, a figure that rises to 25,000 with the inclusion of fleet managed vehicles.

Growth has been entirely organic, and largely fed by referrals from its existing customer base.

The vehicle leasing company was ranked 14th in last year's FN50 with a risk fleet of 21,138 cars and vans.

It has expanded its own head count, with its salary sacrifice team having doubled in size and its daily rental team growing by 40% to keep up with demand.

A new driver liaison team has also been created, allowing drivers to liaise directly with the team to aid their switch to a new vehicle.

Furthermore, it has maintained its customer retention rate of 98% and now manages the fleets of 700 SMEs.

Gordon Stephen, managing director of Ogilvie Fleet, said: “The ongoing investment in our people, to maintain our customer-centric approach has been a long-term commitment for Ogilvie Fleet.

“To see it result in another year of successive growth and to surpass the milestone of a risk fleet of 22,000 vehicles is a source of huge pride to the whole team.”

He added: “One of the biggest drivers of this growth was the creation of our brand-new driver liaison team, which has directly helped over 300 drivers order their new vehicles, whilst taking some of the most time consuming aspects of fleet management off the desks of our customers.”

Ogilvie Fleet has been nominated for Leasing Company of Year at the upcoming Fleet News Awards for the first time ever in the over 20,000 vehicles category.

Stephen said: “Primarily, we ensure our customers have easy access to both our experienced staff and our suite of time-saving tools to make their lives as fleet managers and company drivers as easy as possible.

“Providing excellent customer service is the number one business objective of Ogilvie Fleet.

“It’s an approach that has got us to this incredible point, and one which will see us continue towards meeting our ambitious growth targets in the years to come.”
