With just a simple phone call, fax or email to our office, the client submits their quotation request for a vehicle. When the quotation is accepted we arrange delivery directly to the client's premises. Each client benefits from:

• Streamlined vehicle purchasing and research
• Sourcing vehicles locally via a National dealer network
• Act as an intermediary in negotiations with dealers and manufacturers
• Access Southgate's significant purchasing power (access the purchasing power of thousands of organisations and individuals over that of your own)
• Independent advice (based on decades of experience) on the vehicle that best suits your needs, be it based on vehicle size, budget, whole of life cost or specialised features
• Up to date industry advice on all aspects of vehicle purchasing and finance including prices rises, model changes, manufacturing delays, bonuses etc
• A range of finance options to allow finance to be tailored to individual needs
• Tendering process: Multiple quotes are obtained on all new vehicles and trade-ins (local dealers are always given equal opportunity to quote)
• Trade-in valuations arranged on site and disposed of at maximum value
• A single contact for all your vehicle purchasing regardless of brand and state of delivery
• Save time and concentrate on your core business/organisational roles

The directors of Southgate Fleet Management are very much aware of the pain and inconvenience associated with purchasing and/or leasing motor vehicles. Our mission is to take away this pain and inconvenience and deliver vehicles to clients with the minimum of fuss and at the very best prices that we can obtain. Our organisational goals include:

Minimising the whole of life costs of our client fleets. Keeping ourselves abreast of industry trends and changes and keeping clients informed about the changes that affect their fleet decisions. Passing on our decades of experience and knowledge to our clients to assist them in decision making processes. Streamlining the research, quotation and purchasing processes for our clients. Constantly striving to improve our processes and the services provided to our clients. Developing long term relationships with clients. Fostering within our staff a sense of teamwork and long term commitment to organisational goals to allow us to minimise staff changes, thereby allowing clients to maintain permanent personalised contacts. Services tailored to individual client needs. We provide each client with access to the same range of services. The client can then utilise as many or as few of our services as are needed for their organisation. Be it vehicle purchasing, consulting or finance for their organisation and/or staff. Maintaining competitiveness and commitment to service. Unlike our competitors, we do not have a fixed panel of suppliers all offering vehicles at a uniform price and service. Instead we have a variable network of suppliers from whom we obtain several quotations. This ensures competitiveness and service levels remain high as each individual supply is open for tender.
