EMERGENCY SERVICE
Derek Slack Motors has enjoyed a strong
relationship with the area's emergency
services for over 20 years.
Last July, we supplied Cleveland Fire Brigade
with 14 new Octavia Scout Estate Cars and they
were so pleased with them, the brigade have
ordered another 5 this year already.
Karen Winter, from Cleveland Fire Brigade said,
“This deal has allowed us to standardise our
fleet and provide vital vehicles to our Flexible
Duty Officers, so they are able to respond to
incidents quickly and safely and in all types of
conditions, as these cars have 4x4 ability. It is
very important to Cleveland Fire Brigade that
we work with local businesses and ensure that
we are getting value for money. This addition to
our fleet allows us to continue supporting safer,
stronger communities across Cleveland.”
Derek Slack Motors have been awarded the
Cleveland Police maintenance contract for
Middlesbrough. Tony Slack said in December:
“We are delighted to have won the contract
and really look forward to repairing the vehicles
and keeping them on the roads to support
the local community. Winning this contract
will mean additional staff appointments. We
support apprentices and currently have a local
apprentice training to be a technician.”
Barry Coppinger, Cleveland’s Police and Crime
Commissioner, said: “We’re looking forward to
working with excellent local suppliers. Police
vehicles have to be on the road every day of the
year and the contract allows us to work with
garages who can provide fast, priority service.”
If you are responsible for a small to medium
size fleet we’d be delighted to discuss your
needs & provide pricing.
