He added: "Asset Alliance Group has developed a strong reputation in the industry and there’s huge scope to grow our current fleet size of more than 5,000 vehicles. We don’t necessarily want to be the biggest but we do want to be the best.”

Agnew said that at as fuel costs increase and the shortage of HGV drivers and vehicle component parts continues, Asset Alliance Group will play a key role in helping customers weather the storm by providing "great products, value for money and unmatched customer service."

He added: “It’s that combination that will help us tap into new business opportunities and keep people coming back.”
