VAUXHALL has shown it has that something special to unseat the BMW Group’s Business Partnership from its reign as Best SME Company Car Programme champion for the last three years.
It has turned up in the form of Vauxhall’s SME Company Car Programme.
Vauxhall has doubled the size of its field team serving small and medium businesses, and improved interest rates and funding lines among a host of positive moves.
Best SME Company Car Programme – The Contenders
- BMW/MINI Business Partnership
- Vauxhall
- Skoda
Last year’s winner was the BMW Group’s Business Partnership programme.
What our judges thought:
“The overall package offered by Vauxhall from the extent of the dealer network (81%) involved in supporting the programme to the size of the field team and the fixed price service plans and courtesy car provision gives them the lead in this section.
“Both BMW and Skoda have demonstrated increased commitment in terms of field and dealer support for the SME marketplace but Vauxhall are the winners.”
