| 摘要： | Rising vehicle complexity, the rise of electrical drivelines and perhaps most significantly difficulties in recruiting new staff are all leading local authorities to outsource their vehicle maintenance, contends Bob Sweetland, managing director of Specialist Fleet Services. Alongside contract hire, SFS, part of Paragon Banking Group, also offers whole fleet maintenance services to local authorities, covering everything from small equipment to heavy trucks, including around 800 RCVs. "It's our role to make sure that the required number of vehicles are available to the contracting authority at the right time every day," Sweetland says. He explains that some local authorities are struggling to run their own workshops, with staff recruitment, training, and retention key issues. "Inflexible pay structures often don't reflect what good technicians can earn elsewhere," he says. "We can pay realistic rates, and we also are big fans of apprenticeships. We have some staff with 10 years or more service with us who started as apprentices, plus we also recruit technicians from franchised dealers' and manufacturers' workshops. Council outsourcing to us is driven more by ourtechnical expertise than financial advantage." |
