CYGNET Healthcare has praised EV salary sacrifice and fleet management specialist, Fleet Evolution, for providing an array of niche services to its specialist fleet of 285 vehicles.
Cygnet Healthcare, which works with individuals with mental health needs, autism and learning disabilities across the UK, operates a multi-class fleet of outright purchased vehicles meeting several different healthcare needs, many of which have been specially adapted and converted. These range from specially converted minibuses to multi-marque SUVs serving some 180 different locations across the country.
Fleet Evolution, based in Tamworth, Staffs, now provides a number of niche services including short-term hire vehicles, vehicle UK movements, condition reporting, repurposing and reconditioning and disposals.
Cygnet has made a number of fleet improvements and has invested heavily to upgrade its fleet, switching from leased and rental vehicles to outright purchased and Cygnet-specified vehicles, with investment in on-board technology helping to streamline operational processes. These changes have led to a reduction in carbon emissions of 90 tonnes a year, a 40% reduction in accidents, a 6% increase in fuel consumption and a 15% reduction in the company insurance premium.
Group Fleet Manager, Katharine Draper, who runs a three-strong fleet department, said that Fleet Evolution provides a number of key fleet services that are “very bespoke to our needs. They have been able to provide services that have been highly customised to meet our requirements, rather than adopting a policy of one size fits all.”
