ONE of the best-known family names in UK fleet management over the last 30 years has announced its return to the industry with Fleet Service Great Britain (Fleet Service GB).

Marcus Bray, who played a big part along with his father and stepmother in the success of Fleet Support Group (FSG), becoming the UK’s largest privately owned fleet management company managing 55,000 vehicles and drivers, will lead the new company along with an experienced management team.

Mr Bray, head of sales at Fleet Service GB, said he was approached by a number of individuals with industry experience and the decision to form the unique co-ownership company was made, in which members of the senior management team were all shareholders.

Back in 2011, FSG was acquired by the United States headquartered ARI – it was subsequently renamed ARI Fleet UK in 2012. All three of the family members left ARI in 2013.
