The Octavia Black Edition looks particularly slick
Multi award-winning year for ŠKODA fleet sales in 2014
ŠKODA UK’s fleet operation is celebrating its most successful year ever with significant growth in sales and multiple award wins.
Over the past year, both ŠKODA UK’s fleet department and SKODA’s range of cars have added to the brand’s awards cabinet, scooping a host of prestigious awards.
This was accompanied by an equally impressive fleet sales performance of 38,332 and true fleet sales growth of 50%. The amount of corporate customers grew 167%, corporate team sales were up 180%, and Motability volumes also increased 110% year-on-year.
ŠKODA’s fleet division, which is made up of a team of 17 people, was strengthened by a number of key appointments in 2014 including Davina West as Business Development Manager. The strength of the team combined with fantastic product has secured ŠKODA’s position as one of the fastest-growing brands in the UK fleet market.
Last year’s solid performance provides the perfect springboard for a record 2015 for the ŠKODA UK fleet team. The year has already got off to a strong start with the newly launched ŠKODA Fabia being named What Car? Car of the Year.
The New Fabia provides more space, practicality and economy than ever before. All Fabia engines are EU6 compliant and the GreenLine will offer CO2 as low as 82g/km and up to 88.3mpg.
Later this year, the launch of the new Superb will also add another dimension to ŠKODA’s fleet offering, with compelling whole-life costs, innovative technology and class-leading interior space along with a sharp new look.
Fleet sales of the award-winning Octavia, named What Car?’s Family Car of the Year 2015, are also expected to rise, helping to increase the brand’s overall true fleet sales.
Commenting on the positive outlook Patrick McGillycuddy, Head of Fleet for ŠKODA UK, said: “The whole fleet team has had an excellent 2014. With an exciting range of new products launching, the right systems in place and a dedicated team; we’re charged up and ready for an even better 2015.”
