  • Worked on interesting projects in France and the Netherlands
  • Helped to run 4 Buckingham Forums
  • Worked on 9 small advisory projects, mainly for investors looking to buy into the UK fleet market
  • Helped 3 major groups go out to tender for their global fleet requirements
  • Developed our new price optimisation software
  • Ran training and coaching sessions in 7 of the largest organisations in the UK
  • Gave 11 public talks, mainly on fleet- and pricing- related topics
  • Had a monthly column published in Fleet Week on the Mathematics of Leasing
  • Had 12 other articles published
  • Had 20,000 visitors to our website
  • Sold nearly 3,000 books

Our plans for 2012 include:

  • Running fleet conferences in Australia and the Far East
  • Implementing pricing software and solutions in a number of finance and leasing companies
  • Publication of two new leasing books

Happy New Year!

Fleet News interviews Colin Tourick

What has been your biggest achievement in your current role?

I’ve spent 30 years helping fleet managers reduce costs and risk, and my mother would say my biggest achievement is producing five books under the ‘Managing Your Company Cars’ title (“my son the author”).

I’m also very proud of the work I’ve done for the last six years helping leasing companies improve the way they do their pricing.

And in the last year or so we’ve introduced those pricing methodologies to a number of companies outside the fleet sector.

It’s interesting that the things we’ve learned about pricing in the fleet leasing market are also of value to food manufacturers, electrical goods retailers, parts distributors and service companies.
