Blue light win for FMG
YORKSHIRE-based incident management specialist FMG has been appointed to recover around 4,000 vehicles a year on behalf of Lincolnshire Police.
The Huddersfield business will manage the recovery of vehicles that have been stolen or involved in collisions, as well as those involved in crime and being driven with no insurance.
FMG already manages similar contracts for other police forces across the country, including Lancashire, Cumbria, North Wales and Norfolk.
Integrated services contract manager at Lincolnshire Police, Gail Bradshaw, said: “We’re delighted to be able to work with FMG on this contract. Dealing with vehicles, and vehicle crime, takes up a considerable amount of police time, and knowing that vehicles will be recovered and managed efficiently will mean that our officers and staff will have more time to carry out other duties.”
FMG has a strong background in providing comprehensive services for public sector organisations, having recently been re-awarded a major contract with the Highways Agency to deal with incidents across the 4,300 miles of England’s strategic road network.
Jerry Bartlett, head of police schemes at FMG, said: “We’re delighted that we’ve been awarded this contract to do an important job for a vital public service provider. This is testament to the hard work our people have done on managing existing contracts and demonstrating best practice in this unique area of vehicle recovery.”
FMG employs 340 staff, mainly based at its head offices in Huddersfield.
