The Berkshire-based driver education specialist, DriveTech, has been chosen as sole supplier of driver risk management products and services to Total Fleet Services, one of the largest UK fleet management companies.

Total Fleet Services’ customers will now have access to the full range of interventions that DriveTech has been using successfully over many years to mitigate risk and reduce fleet running costs.

Total Fleet Managing Director Kevin Harris said: “We are very pleased to be associated with DriveTech, who will be working with us to deliver driver assessment and training to both our new and existing clients.

“We believe delivering effective Duty of Care guidance is a very important addition to the service we can offer customers. More efficacious Corporate Manslaughter legislation is with us and with us to stay; we believe we have the right partner to deliver a ‘best in class’ solution.”
