Fisher is thrilled to be part of a passionate team. “It’s nice to be around people who know something about fleet. Usually, I’m the fleet person and other people in the company want to drive down costs constantly and make everything a battle. It’s nice to be in a company that understands how things work and tries to do the right thing by its customers and work together.”
With a focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, Herd Group offers a wide range of solutions to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes. The company’s services include vehicle financing, maintenance and repair, fuel management, and telematics.
The business is dedicated to providing cost- effective solutions that help businesses optimise their fleet operations and improve their bottom line, and Fisher says although the Group has been successful, there is always room for improvement. “There are processes I want to update and make things a bit easier for us and a bit quicker and more cost-effective for our customers,” he tells us.
The Group’s Herd Connect fleet management solution consists of complete fleet management outsourcing from order, to asset management and driver management, through to de-fleet, refurbishment and disposal. “The role of Herd Connect is to take care of the fleets of our customers so they can focus on growth,” explains Fisher. “We manage their maintenance and make sure their cars and vans are safe and compliant, with downtime kept to a minimum” he says.
