Midlands based Chevin relocates in bid for expansion down under

Due to continued growth and demand for its flexible fleet management information systems in Australia, the Derbyshire-based asset management consultancy and software house, Chevin Fleet Solutions has relocated to larger, new offices on the outskirts of Sydney.

The relocation of offices also sets the stage for Chevin to expand its operations down under in a bid to emulate the success the global market leader has had in the UK and US.

Taking a crucial role in the drive for growth on the continent is managing director and founder of Chevin, Ashley Sowerby, who left the UK for Sydney in September last year: "The opening of our new office will help us to better serve the growing customer base in Australia in terms of both project management and implementation. It will also allow us to grow our team here as we push hard into the market and respond to new business development opportunities."

Having served clients in Australia for over a decade from it's UK office, Chevin recognised the strength and growth potential in the Australian Market and so in July 2009 established its first Sydney office.  

According to Mr Sowerby, the Company's focus to date has been to develop strategic customer wins amongst sector leading businesses such as Abigroup Construction, NSW Rural Fire Service, Cadbury, Schweppes, Harley-Davidson Australia, Hitachi Construction Machines Australia, Blue Mountains City Council and RSL Care.

"Having gained an excellent track record with businesses operating at the top of their fields," continued Mr. Sowerby, "our challenge now is to continue to deliver on performance and flexibility with these customers, while pushing hard into the remainder of what is a considerable market.

"We'll be working towards a big push at AFMA's annual trade show in March, and are confident that not only do we have world-class products, we now have the right infrastructure and an experienced team in place to return excellent results for Chevin Australia in 2010," concluded Mr. Sowerby.

With offices in the UK, Ireland, USA and Australia, and a reseller network covering Africa and Asia, Chevin's expansion has been unrelenting over the last twenty years. Despite tough trading conditions, growth of its domestic and international customer-base across a diverse range of industries resulted in 2009 being another record breaker for the market-leading provider of dedicated fleet management systems.

The Company's two core products are FleetWave, the world's first web-based enterprise fleet management system, and RoadBASE, the most flexible and adaptable windows-based management solution. Both continue to offer world-class performance, flexibility and ROI, which in turn empowers businesses to achieve optimum management of their fleets in the long haul.
