Artegy contract tankers fit the bill for Speedy Hire

Tool and equipment company Speedy Hire plc has added two new tankers from Artegy to its fleet. A further three are to follow.

Speedy Hire, which rents out access equipment, materials handling, cranes, pumps and site equipment, ordered five 26-tonne fuel tankers, taking advantage of Artegy’s contract hire service.

The service, specifically designed to meet the needs of the ADR market, reflects a trend towards contract hire as the preferred method of funding and managing commercial vehicles. Artegy says there are significant operational and financial advantages over outright purchasing, including 24-hour regional breakdown and technical support, bespoke handovers and equipment demonstrations by trained engineers, aswell as the smooth management of costs.

Speedy Hire selected Artegy for peace of mind when it came to maintenance and repairs on the chassis, specialist equipment, tyres and road licences, as well as the specifications and build management on existing and future vehicles ensuring legal compliance.

Ian Leonard, Group Fleet Director for Speedy says,” We have been working with Artegy for 18 months now and their experience in a wide variety of disciplines has helped our business considerably. Fuel Management is growing in popularity with our customers and we need to make sure that we have the best, most reliable vehicles in place in which to service their needs. Artegy have helped us achieved this.”

Artegy, based in Manchester, now manages manage more than 10,000 vehicles for customers across the UK and France. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of BNP Paribas, one of Europe’s largest banking groups.
