Alphabet offer a number of leasing contracts which cater for every customer. They consist of contract hire, fleet management and a unique Motivational leasing scheme exclusive to their company. The contract hire and fleet management schemes are both fairly self explanatory, offering standard services for both individual vehicles and more enterprise sized fleets. The Motivational leasing scheme is aimed at those looking for a green fleet, with tax benefits from the benefits-in-kind system meaning cheaper running costs for eco friendly cars which emit less than 120g/km of co2. Along with the above fleet management they also offer high quality service management in several other areas, ranging from accident management and maintenance to strategic consultancy for those new to the fleet business.
Alphabet also love to keep their potential and current customers up to date with the latest news and information, running a weekly blog for the leasing market. The chief executive officer Richard Schooling is the writer and editor of its content and it can be found at www.businesscar.co.uk ; it covers everything from the current state of leasing the market to just general light hearted conversation.
