service and staff support with its new fleet of 33 Vauxhall Corsa
cars
National recruitment and training organisation, Positive
Outcomes, has taken delivery of 33 new highly efficient Vauxhall
Corsa hatchbacks in its latest step to maximise staff support and
client service.
The total order is made up of 30 low-emission 1.3CDTi ecoFLEX
five-door hatchbacks with Start/Stop, and three 1.2i 16v VVT petrol
five-door models with Easytronic automatic gearbox - all specified
in Exclusiv trim.
Nottingham-based Positive Outcomes, which has offices across the
UK, including Birmingham, London, Edinburgh and Bristol, has added
the new Vauxhall Corsas to keep pace with the growing demand from
public and private sector organisations for its specialist
work-based training and recruitment service. The new cars will be
used by the company's Training and Learning Advisors and Business
Development Managers as they work with clients across the UK.
Emitting just 95g/km the 1.3CDTi Corsa ecoFLEX is one of the
cleanest and most fuel-efficient hatchbacks on sale today,
something the company was keen to ensure from its new fleet as
Positive Outcomes' Contracts Manager Paul Blackshaw, explains: "In
addition to providing a safe, reliable and cost effective solution
to assist and protect our employees travelling as part of their
work, we wanted to reduce our carbon footprint and demonstrate an
awareness of our employer responsibility to the environment. In my
view, the Corsa models we have chosen offer the best available
solution for our employees, the needs of the business, and the
environment."
The Corsa ecoFLEX represents the most efficient model in the
range and achieves lower emissions through a combination of
technical changes to the vehicle. Ultra-low rolling resistance
tyres, modified gearing, revised engine management and aerodynamic
changes contribute to improving the fuel consumption and
CO2emissions.
Along with the environmental benefits, Vauxhall ecoFLEX models
also make financial sense, mainly falling within the lowest
Benefit-in-Kind tax band for diesel cars and Vehicle Excise
Duty.
Each new vehicle is specified with a range of optional extras
including Bluetooth, to enable employees to safely stay in contact
when necessary. All 33 cars are finished with metallic paint for a
more attractive appearance and stronger residual values.
Mr Blackshaw added: "An additional key consideration behind
selecting the Vauxhall Corsa has been that many of our new recruits
are aged in their early 20's. As Corsa's target market, we felt
this would increase the connection we make with our clients.
"Our chosen leasing company, JCT600 in Bradford, have made this
venture possible by working closely with both Vauxhall and
ourselves. We have been pleased with the service so far and hope to
develop the relationship further to ensure any additions to our
growing fleet are equally ideal."
