Ogilvie flours sole-supply deal with Whitworth Brothers

Date: 18 April 2013   |   Author: Rachel Burgess

Ogilvie Fleet has won a four-year contract with flour millers Whitworth Bros. to become sole supplier of its vehicle fleet.

The Wellingborough-based firm, which has a 34-strong company car line-up, has also reviewed its business car policy, including the introduction of vehicle choice list with a 120g/km CO2 cap for drivers.

Distribution manager Colin Spurrier said: "Whitworth Bros. is focused on cutting its carbon footprint so we have introduced the emissions cap, while still giving drivers a wide vehicle choice.

"Additionally, the correlation between low CO2 emissions and fuel economy means that the business is simultaneously cutting its fuel bill."

The firm has also introduced a winter-tyre policy, which will see it work with Ogilvie's tyre partner Kwik-Fit to switch to seasonal tyres in October and back to standard tyres in spring.

Spurrier said: "We believe that from a safety and duty of care requirement that the fitting of winter tyres offers improves safety and peace of mind for our company car drivers, their family and the business."
