Ogilvie Fleet have provided a comprehensive fleet mobility solution to leading integrated urgent care provider Medvivo.
Based in the South West of England, Medvivo (part of HealthHero Group) specialises in delivering exceptional integrated urgent care and associated health services across Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire, and with a unique set of fleet needs, they tasked Ogilvie with creating a solution that would improve their efficiency and crucially, minimize vehicle downtime.
With the first batch of 13 x Kia Sportages arriving last month, the Ogilvie team managed the fit-out with a wide range of bespoke equipment required for emergency response vehicles, including additional ‘alley’ lights, telematics and dashcams alongside a full livery to NHS standards.
Vic Hemmings is Facilities Manager at Medvivo:
“We are absolutely delighted with not only the cars Ogilvie have provided, but the incredible service we received in the build-up to delivery day and beyond. Mark and his team were incredibly knowledgeable about different vehicle manufacturers and how they could suit our needs, and even provided us with no-obligation demos to test out.
The bid they submitted to us was one of the most comprehensive I have seen – covering how they support businesses of our size, breaking down options and an in-depth overview of their ‘Ogilvie True Cost’ – a transparent approach to the actual cost of driving.
One of the key deciding factors was their human approach. We have worked with service providers that treat you as just another customer in a call centre. Mark explained this was not the case at Ogilvie and that he and his dedicated Medvivo team would manage the account and that is exactly what they have done.
The cars themselves look fantastic and we have already had great feedback from the Medical Responders who are out on the road with them supporting their local community. I would recommend Ogilvie to anyone looking to work with an honest and transparent mobility provider.”
Mark Beattie, Business Development Manager at Ogilvie Fleet explains how the relationship came about:
“It seemed like it was written in the stars that we should be working with Medvivo. One of our short term hire experts Martine was speaking with Vic about their daily rental needs when the conversation turned to contract hire. A week later we had made the list of bidders at the 11th hour and got to work on our comprehensive bid.
We were happy to be able to showcase the full range of services we could provide and that I would be on hand throughout, with that personal touch which was really important to Vic and Medvivo.
The services Medvivo provide is really important to the local community. We are delighted to be able to support the critical work they do with a tailored fleet solution and a team of dedicated fleet professionals.”
Ogilvie are providing a full contract hire + SMR service to Medvivo, with a further batch of orders to follow, alongside a medium-term rental vehicle and spot hire solutions.
Ogilvie Fleet provide a range of award-winning mobility solutions including contract hire, daily rental and salary sacrifice, with almost 25,000 cars and vans on the UK’s roads.
