T

hat is why more and more companies are turning their attention to the hire industry and option to contract hire vehicles for the necessary jobs. This is a cost efficient method for a lot of companies in this climate as costs are fixed for the agreed period of time and all their maintenance is incorporated in the hire cost. There are a number of truck hire centres around the country, but not many have the experience of Fleet Plan in Co. Dublin. The company was established in 2004, by Jarlath Kelly who has a life time involvement in the haulage industry and he has brought this vast experience to his business. They say location is key to the success of any business and Fleet Plan Hire Ltd can lay claim to a prime location on the Old Airport Road, Cloughran, Dublin. From here, Jarlath and his team of ten employees cater for more than 200 vehicles ranging from artics right down to vans. This alone suggests that Fleet Plan are the leaders in their field of expertise focusing on service and ensuring customer satisfaction. Having been involved in the haulage industry for about 20 years beforehand Jarlath saw an opportunity to start up the business in Truck & Van rentals and Contract Hire and it has taken over from there in the last eight years. The Company has built up a decent size customer base, many of who are repeat customers. Their customers would vary from Transport & logistic companies, to IRISH TRUCKER & LIGHT COMMERCIALS

the private sector, where people may just need a van for a day to move house or something like that. The Company's packages are tailored to suit all customers and so is the fleet. They supply everything from small vans to large trucks, with a choice of styles to suit all requirements. The Company will work with you to develop and grow your company cost effectively. All their customers receive first class service and they offer the most competitive rates in the industry. They provide a large variety of vans and trucks to suit your exact specification for both business and personal requirements. Their rates are flexible for both short and long-term hire periods. Customers can be guaranteed to have the peace of mind when it comes to the quality of the vehicle they hire as all Fleet Plan vehicles undergo maintenance and service checks in house to the highest standard prior to every rental. Fleet Plans main priority is to ensure that the vehicle is in perfect working order, so as to ensure that vehicles don't breakdown while on a job thereby keeping downtime to a minimum for the customer and upholding the company's reputation. Of the fleet for hire, 65% of it is Mercedes, while Ford, Isuzu, Fiat, MAN and Scania make up the majority of the rest and the company also caters to the individual requests for specific makes and models from various customers. Flexibility is all part and parcel of Fleet Plans focus.

The majority of Fleet Plans work would be contract Hire and long term rental. Fleet Plan Hire Ltd has grown by 15%-20% each year since it first opened its doors in 2004, a statistic that the company is keen to continue for many years to come. They are always looking to expand and have done so since they first started. There has been steady growth here and they aim to continue that trend. Fleet Plan Hire Ltd now has an inhouse workshop where all maintenance work is carried out as they strive to give their customers the best service possible. “Our aim is to have a successful business and I think we are on the right road. Our customers have been very good to us and our aim is to protect them by giving them the right deals and making sure that they are satisfied with the service provided thereby allowing them to focus on running other aspects of their business.�
