Independent fleet management specialist TR Fleet has expanded overseas with the launch of TR Fleet Australia.
The Coventry-based company's first overseas venture, which is based in Melbourne, will be helping companies throughout Australia and New Zealand to maximise safety, efficiency and cost savings in procuring and managing their employees' vehicles.
The new business will be offer TR Fleet's 'DriveSecure' risk management service which is aimed at enabling employers to comply with new workplace health and safety regulations which will come into effect across Australia by 2015.
The driver-centric tool collates data from the supply chain in order to alert employers to insurance and safety issues they or their drivers need to address such as tyre pressure checks and eye tests.
The new venture is headed up by executive directors Mat Presney, who has 17 years' experience in the Australian and UK automotive manufacturing, finance and fleet management sectors, and Jeremy Sneddon, with over 20 years' executive experience in banking and finance.
Julie Summerell, managing director of TR Fleet, said: "This is a very exciting time with the launch of this new venture in Australia and New Zealand, just as new health and safety regulations impose a greater administrative burden on employers.
"Together with safety compliance and greater efficiency, we deliver an average of 20 per cent savings though choice of vehicles, fuel savings, funding costs and tax breaks, which funds the risk management."
