Our Fleet division works with globally recognised technology partners, including Webfleet (part of the Bridgestone Group) and Mantis Live, delivering advanced telematics, vehicle CCTV and AI-powered fleet safety solutions.

Through Mantis, we help businesses gain greater visibility of their fleet operations, improve driver safety, manage incidents and reduce operational risk.

We work with organisations across transport and logistics, construction, waste management, passenger transport and other commercial fleet sectors.

As demand for intelligent vehicle safety technology continues to grow, we are investing in our commercial team to support the next phase of growth.
