Some have had to dip into their savings to buy personal protection equipment and others are getting back in their vans after being furloughed for weeks. Partnering with FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS means we can offer HVP Gold Membership subscribers the assurance that they will be saving 10p for every litre of fuel they use as they drive from place to place fixing their customer’s problems.”
