Enterprise Flex-E-Rent is recruiting more than 100 new technicians across its 28 UK depots as part of wider plans to expand its commercial vehicle repair and maintenance capabilities.
It is also expanding its training programme, which now provides up to 4,000 bespoke career planning and training hours to technicians every month.
The training is tailored to suit each individual’s needs and incorporates the company’s full range of vans, trucks, refrigerated vehicles and specialist vehicles – as well as its fleet of more than 500 electric vans.
Meanwhile, the company has also invested more than £1m in diagnostic and workshop equipment across its depots.
Following these investments, Enterprise Flex-E-Rent has seen average vehicle off-road (VOR) times in its own workshops fall to about two thirds of the off-road times at OEM and dealership repair sites.
James Walker, Group Service Maintenance and Repair Manager at Enterprise Flex-E-Rent said: “Our goal is to build an exceptional technical and maintenance resource internally to provide our customers with lower off-road times and help businesses get their vehicles back as soon as possible. The key element is bringing in and developing the best automotive brains in the UK.”
