Fleet Alliance has always focused on the SME market since the company’s inception in 2002. Naturally, we can service larger clients, too, but providing SME fleets with fleet management is, and always has been, at the core of what we do.
What makes us so good at this?
We think it’s a broad range of factors, from our multi-bid funding platform to always provide customers with the best leasing arrangement often saving thousands of pounds in leasing rentals; to our named contacts who will help you with any fleet enquiries you have; and, more recently, our SME focused electric car salary sacrifice programme.
It’s all underpinned by high levels of service. If you’ve experienced the rather off-hand ‘you’re too small to bother with’ approach of some fleet management companies, you’ll find a very different approach at Fleet Alliance.
We’re happy to save you money on managing your fleet whether you have 10 vehicles or 100. Our Fleet 360 programme ensures that It offers a complete outsourced fleet management solution which provides a winning combination of advice, innovative products and technology, competitive pricing, and outstanding service.
The judges at the Broker News Awards 2023 certainly thought so.
Awarded Best SME Broker
Fleet Alliance was awarded Best SME Broker 2023 by an independent panel of judges at the recent Broker News Awards. The judges commented: “Continuing to lead the way for SME customers.” And: “It is difficult to see how much more Fleet Alliance can do to be the complete broker…Like the free fleet software to support SMEs.”
Comments such as this are terrific validation of what we offer to SME customers: high-end service for the SME sector.
In particular, there’s the e-Fleet technology we provide free of charge to help SME fleets manage and reduce their fleet administration. It’s central to our Fleet 360 fleet management and provides a seamless order to delivery and in-life process.
It empowers SMEs with the same level of fleet insight and control as a larger corporate fleet enjoys, ensuring that business size is never a limiting factor for efficient fleet management.
Fleet management and ESG plus electric car salary sacrifice
Increasingly the ESG agenda is taking centre stage in fleet management.
ESG – or Environment, Social and Governance – is central to Fleet Alliance from our commitment to the green agenda (our own fleet went fully electric at the end of 2021), charitable work (to date we have committed £737,000 to charity causes) and the championing of diversity (we were named a Best Workplace For Women 2022).
We think that SME fleets should also benefit from the environmental and cost savings of greener technology that will help equip fleets for a zero emission future.
This can be fleet consultation on moving your fleet to electric, or offering our SME electric car salary sacrifice scheme. Like our fleet management, this has been specifically designed to help SME firms offer this valuable staff benefit and retention tool.
But we prefer to let the Broker News judges offer their view:
“One of the key foundations of the Fleet Alliance business – the SME market – is truly benefiting from the years of experience with this section of the market.”

Not so long ago, the talking point for fleets was whether a cash alternative was better than taking a company car. Driven by escalating benefit in kind company car tax, many drivers decided that they would rather take the cash, thank you very much, and spend it on a car how they wanted. To be … Continued
There are plenty of new car brand names coming to the UK, offering an alternative choice to those that are more familiar. There’s GWM Ora, for example, or BYD (Build Your Dreams) and soon we’ll have NIO. These new brands, all from China, are focusing on bringing mostly fully electric cars to the UK, which … Continued
You might think we’re getting slightly ahead of ourselves by considering hydrogen as a potential fleet fuel. After all, the battery electric revolution is only just beginning for many fleets. But hydrogen will have a place in the fleet sector in the future, that’s for sure, although, what that will look like is still hard … Continued
Sustainability. It’s at the centre of what we do as a fleet mobility provider, whether that’s advising our clients on vehicle decarbonisation, or reviewing our business processes as part of our commitment to a transparent ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) agenda. So the opportunity to progress our sustainability programme with a partner that was as … Continued
We’ve been tackling some of the issues surrounding the transfer to a decarbonised fleet. These include whether an electric vehicle (EV) is dirtier than an petrol or diesel (ICE) car – no it’s not, but it’s not black and white either. Or what happens to old EV batteries, mainly they go to second use. As … Continued
This was a significant moment, I believe. The moment when the first of the European car makers decided now was the time to make electric cars more affordable – and, importantly, more fleet focused. The new Volkswagen ID.2 – or ID.2all to give the car its full title – was shown last week as a … Continued
Synthetic fuels – also known as e-fuels – are beginning to make a play for attention in the decarbonisation of transport. Although battery electric cars remain pivotal to the green agenda, e-fuels could help both heavy-duty vehicles and the existing parc of cars to meet climate change goals. Last year, the European Council announced a … Continued
Fleet Alliance, along with other members of Climate Group’s EV100, are now running a combined total of more than 400,000 electric vehicles. It’s a remarkable achievement in a short period of time – just five years since the creation of EV100, a group of progressive companies that are committed to electrifying fleets by 2030. … Continued
In 2022, sales of new electric cars were second only to petrol. EV volumes were up 40% – compare that to the 38.9% decline in diesel cars to see the clear direction of travel. Good job: only electrified new cars can legally be sold from 2030. By 2035, the entire new car market will be … Continued
