They are already one of the largest competitors in their space but have ambitions to grow much further and they are crazy about sustainability. To date they have saved fleets over 3,000,000 tonnes of CO2.

They are seeing their hard work paying off as they have won seven awards, including Best Fleet Software three years in a row, a highly commended wellbeing award, two innovation awards, and one outstanding product of the year award.

What Characteristics Are They Looking For

• A genuine desire to take responsibility and willingness to learn wanting to take on new challenges, with the understanding that learning from mistakes is crucial.
• Resilience - the attitude that challenges along the way only serve to make successes more rewarding.

• Able to multi-task and prioritise - they love a problem solver!
• Strong negotiation and the ability to agree the right terms.
