Automotive is Europe's 2nd largest car leasing operation and is dedicated to providing customers with a truly comprehensive range of products and services. Proactive and diligent in sourcing the very best support for our customers we recently moved to the Licence Bureau as our partner responsible for outsourced driving licence checks.

The transition to the Licence Bureau was seamless and the level of understanding and commitment to the needs of ALD Automotive and our customers exceptional. There have been a range of significant benefits in moving to the Licence Bureau from the higher degree of technical support available to our Account Managers to the early identification of drivers employed by our customers with issues over their entitlement to drive.

David Yates, Marketing Director of ALD Automotive said that "Moving to the Licence Bureau as our licence checking partner has given ALD Automotive and our customer's peace of mind and confidence that our needs are being met in the critical area of 'Duty of Care'. They are an integral part of our award winning DriveSafe risk management solution".

Hitachi Capital are the market leaders in the supply, funding and management of company vehicles. We take pride in our level of product knowledge, in the competence and ability of our team and are committed to a process of continuous improvement.

A significant development in that process has been our decision to work in partnership with the Licence Bureau and to adopt their Driving Licence Verification Service to ensure that our customers meet the statutory and moral obligations by confirming that their employees are entitled to drive on their behalf. The Licence Bureau provide Hitachi Capital with a secure and confidential licence checking service that integrates seamlessly with our in-house reporting framework to deliver comprehensive and easily understood updates and reports to our customers.

Steve Pinchen, Market Development Manager for Hitachi Capital says "The impact of the introduction of the licence checking service was almost immediate and certainly significant with the enrolment of Group 4 Securicor within weeks of the launch. Group 4 Securicor is an international security solutions group, operating in over 100 countries throughout the world and employing around 400,000 people, and they viewed enrolment in the Licence Bureau service as an essential component of their UK fleet and driver management process Hitachi Capital provides our customers with choice, quality and genuine personal service at every turn, our decision to work with the Licence Bureau has proved to be a welcome enhancement to that service and one that I would recommend to any fleet manager"
