Nexus joins the White Clarke Group of companies. Together, they have become one of the largest providers of fleet services to the motor industry

 

Peter Blease, MD of Nexus, describes the move: “We have a highly regarded capability vested in our people and systems but will now enjoy the Group’s corporate strength and leadership to enable accelerated development of services and IT solutions. I am confident we can add significant value for our clients as well as for the Group of which we are now a proud member.”

 

Nexus has strategic partnerships with world leading manufacturers, including Toyota, Ford, General Motors and BMW.

 

Its operations within the automotive fleet and rental sectors include:

     

• Full management programmes to promote fleet and commercial business sales in emerging markets. This is a growing part of their business and they have recently opened their fourth subsidiary in Shanghai to facilitate this expansion.

 

• Working with full maintenance leasing companies to improve and sustain their clients’ products and services through streamlined marketing and selling processes. This is achieved by having experienced Nexus managers implanted into major FML companies to act as liaison with its manufacturer clients.

 

• Full facility management of short-term dealer-based rental programmes on behalf of the OEMs. This incorporates development and deployment of bespoke IT systems to facilitate the operation and management of national networks. It is a major part of the business focus in the UK and earmarked for expansion into continental Europe and North America.  

 

• Managed solutions to promote the sale of OEM parts through the dealer networks to independent repairers that include full facility and marketing responsibilities using Nexus HR and IT resources. 

 

• Corporate strength and leadership to enable accelerated development of services and IT solutions.  

 

Nexus has relocated from its offices in Milton Keynes to nearby White Clarke House, the head offices of global operations, and has become integrated with White Clarke Group’s infrastructure while retaining its identity and attention to the automotive sector.
