Ask Elite - December 2009
What is your top tip for 2010?
Planning ahead. Well it’s great that Silverstone has secured the British Grand Prix but would you have arranged it to be on the same day as the Cup Final? In reality they probably had little choice but getting the best outcome to satisfy wide ranging requirements can only be done by planning well in advance.
Reducing cost, complying with health and safety and duty of care, selecting the best make and model variant to optimise your fleet's performance are all high on the agenda and are the very stuff of your everyday workload. Advice from your accident management company will help with all of these and the data built up by the best service providers will allow you to meet all these objectives.
For example, selecting the right vehicles to provide cost effective transport is aided by the readily available data such as fuel consumption, servicing costs, expected tyre life etc., however manufacturers do not tell you that to repair accident damage to the XYZ model is likely to be far more than the DLT. Information like this will help you maintain or reduce your insurance premiums.
A good accident management company will have been analysing such data and together with the ability to assess your exposure to risk will allow you to plan ahead to the greatest advantage.
Elite Incident Management Ltd wishes you a very happy and relaxing Christmas and a successful and prosperous New Year.
