Gateshead Council shows that it isn’t just businesses that can benefit from better management of their work-related road risk – the public sector can too. In an age when budgets are under increasing pressure, Gateshead has shown just what can be achieved.
As one of our longest standing Business Champions, we have just updated their case study to show a 64% reduction in collisions over the last 12 years, delivering a massive cost saving.
Further initiatives have delivered safer drivers, reductions in mileage and more efficient vehicles allowing the council to reduce its fuel use by 50,000 litres last year alone. With fuel today at around £1.20 per litre, that equates to a £60,000 saving right there!
