Quotes from the Parties Involved
Paul Hollick, Lightfoot CEO:
“By offering the technology at the vehicle ordering stage, customers can specify exactly what each car or van needs, creating economies of scale with consistency throughout their fleet from perk cars to workhorse commercial vehicles.”
“The benefit of being able to do this with a leased fleet are huge, because you can be sure that vehicles are operating within contract parameters. That means no shocks when vehicles go back at end of contract, that all in-life services and maintenance are carried out when necessary, and you are aware of how the vehicles are being driven and looked after.”

We know that safety, efficiency and sustainability are top priorities, and innovative telematics solutions play a crucial role.
