Norwich Union has said that increasing demand for fleet risk management services has prompted it to double the size of its adviser team, making it the UK's largest.
NU said nine experienced risk advisers will begin fleet induction training in March. Located throughout the country, they will be responsible for visiting fleets in their respective areas.
Bill Pownall, Norwich Union's motor risk manager, said: “The value of applying risk management to fleet operations is now being acknowledged at the highest level in companies.
“And as the largest insurer of fleet vehicles in the UK, we are getting more and more requests for help in managing occupational road risk."
"These risk advisers will be fully competent in fleet risk management and will be an integral and valuable part of the team by late 2006.“
