data-driven insights in 2025, we accelerated our mission to empower customers with the tools, intelligence, and support they need to stay ahead. Alongside this, we continued to invest in what matters most: our people, our customers, and our communities.<\/p>\n<h2>Culture &amp; Community<\/h2>\n<p>Our purpose is to provide rewarding careers and a better life for our people and their families. That\u2019s why culture and community remain at the heart of everything we do.<br \/>\nIn 2025, Holman sustained its Great Place to Work\u00ae Certification, with 84% of employees saying it\u2019s a great place to work.<br \/>\nWe raised \u00a340,500 at our annual Charity Golf Day and continued to support community initiatives including Let\u2019s Feed Brum and local litter\u2011picking projects.<br \/>\nWe also celebrated <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/resources\/a-decade-of-giving-back-through-the-masterserve-foundation\/\">10 years of the Holman Masterserve Foundation<\/a>, where 1% of every job completed by participating garages is donated to the Foundation, raising \u00a3105,898 in 2025 alone.<\/p>\n<h2>Driving Efficiency<\/h2>\n<p>Fleet uptime remains critical for our customers. In 2025, we introduced a triaged approach to VOR, reducing average downtime to just 2.5 days and helping businesses keep operations moving.<br \/>\nWe enhanced our Portfolio Management Solution with a machine\u2011learning\u2011powered Vehicle Replacement Model, delivering 94% accuracy in predicting replacement needs. This helps fleets right\u2011size, prioritise renewals, reduce downtime, and avoid unnecessary SMR spend.<br \/>\nTo support leadership continuity and strategic focus, we also welcomed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fleetnews.co.uk\/news\/new-md-for-holman-uk-as-caller-promoted\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Hunt as Interim Managing Director<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Innovation Through Partnerships<\/h2>\n<p>As electrification and data\u2011driven fleet management continued to accelerate, we expanded our network and solutions to support this shift.<br \/>\nWe introduced home and depot charging capabilities, advanced telematics, and integrated fuel and charge card solutions for seamless energy management.<br \/>\nThese tools, enriched with our broader data sources, unlock deeper fleet insight, empowering customers to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions.<\/p>\n<h2>Customer Collaboration<\/h2>\n<p>We continued to create spaces for shared learning and innovation. At our annual customer forum, The Holman Exchange, we welcomed representatives from 14 organisations for presentations, roundtables, and networking.<br \/>\nBy prioritising customer goals, we achieved a CSAT score of 4.2\/5, reflecting strong relationships and consistent service delivery.<\/p>\n<h2>Industry Recognition<\/h2>\n<p>Holman was proud to receive several awards in the past year, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Innovation in Cost Reduction \u2013 Great British Fleet Event<\/li>\n<li>Commercial Fleet Company of the Year \u2013 Motor Trader Commercial Industry Awards<\/li>\n<li>Fleet Management Company of the Year \u2013 WhatVan? Awards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With four additional finalist placements, including Customer Service and Innovation, and two customer finalist nominations, these recognitions highlight the power of strong partnerships and our commitment to delivering what matters most.<br \/>\nWe also ranked 15th in the FN50, reflecting growth driven by our finance lease funding model and the trust placed in us across the industry. This transparent, customer\u2011centric approach continues to set us apart.<\/p>\n<h2>Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n<p>Every achievement in 2025 reflects our core purpose: creating rewarding careers, partnering with customers to deliver meaningful solutions, and driving positive change across the fleet industry. From community impact to innovation and efficiency, these highlights show what\u2019s possible when we work together.<br \/>\nWith 2026 underway, we\u2019re excited to continue empowering fleets with cost\u2011effective, sustainable solutions while investing in our people and partnerships.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/contact\/\">Let\u2019s start planning a fleet strategy that works for you.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<style>\n\tsection{margin:0;}\n\tp img{display:block !important;}\nsection.resource-wysiwyg{margin:20px 0 0;padding:0;}\nsection.resource-wysiwyg:first-of-type {margin:35px 0 0;padding:0;}\n.resource-wysiwyg p{margin-bottom:16px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg h3{margin-bottom:16px;color:#003057;font-weight:500;}\n.resource-wysiwyg p:last-of-type{margin-bottom:0px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg p img{display:block !important;}\n.resource-wysiwyg img{padding:16px 24px;max-width:40%;display:block;}\n.resource-wysiwyg img.alignright{float:right;padding-right:0px;}\n.resource-wysiwyg img.alignleft{float:left;padding-left:0px;}\n#form-container-gated #ebook-form h2, #form-container-gated #ebook-form h3, #form-container-gated #ebook-form h4{margin-top:0px;}\n@media(max-width:600px){section.resource-wysiwyg:first-of-type{margin:16px 0 0;}.resource-wysiwyg img{max-width:50%;height:auto;padding:8px 12px;}}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":18881,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[131,1],"tags":[102,143,162],"blog-type":[91],"featured":[90],"legacy":[],"topic":[],"class_list":["post-18880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fleet-management","category-uncategorized","tag-blogs","tag-fleet-management","tag-highlights","blog-type-blog","featured-no"],"acf":[],"permalink_manager":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18880"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18880\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18892,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18880\/revisions\/18892"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18880"},{"taxonomy":"blog-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog-type?post=18880"},{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured?post=18880"},{"taxonomy":"legacy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/legacy?post=18880"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uk.holman.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=18880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
