ARVAL have announced that for the first time they have reached the 100,000 funded vehicle mark in the UK, following a strong year of growth and a diverse range of clients ranging from SMEs with one or two vehicles to large corporates.
Over the past couple of years, Arval have introduced some new customer-focused initiatives that “add value” for their customers, including the Account Team, Arval Total Care – which is an insured leased vehicle product – and the Arval Smart Experience.
Managing Director at Arval UK, Benoit Dilly, said:“Since I joined Arval just over a year ago we have had a clear growth strategy, underpinned by a focus on customer service and the development of our employees.
“Moving past this milestone is testament to the strides that our teams have made in supporting existing customers and attracting new ones.
We will retain a focus on growth in the future, aiming to attract businesses of all sizes and across the full range of industry sectors.
“As long as we keep delivering leading products, underpinned with great levels of service, I am confident that we will continue this positive trend.”
The 100,000th vehicle was in fact a Vauxhall Vivaro van that was delivered to the national home support company, HomeServe.
Director of UK Procurement at HomeServe, Jadon Silva, said:“We’re delighted to be taking delivery of what will be the 100,000th vehicle for Arval.
“We have an excellent working relationship with Arval and our new fleet not only signals our continuing commitment to providing effortless customer service, but will also help us to go the extra mile in helping hard working homes this winter.”
As well as strong UK growth, the Arval Group operate in 25 countries and have exceeded 700,000 units around the globe in July 2014. Next to the UK, the fastest accelerating countries for Arval in the past year have included Morocco, Turkey, Russia, Hungary, Romania, Belgium and Austria.
