Chevin Comes Of Age

Chevin Fleet Solutions recently celebrated its 18th birthday and over the last year the company has graduated with honours, as outstanding performance has seen exceptional growth, with revenues increasing by 40%.

Chevin's Managing Director, Ashley Sowerby, commented:

"I am very proud of the fact that we have reached this notable milestone.

Over the past eighteen years, the company has gone from strength to strength and in particular, the last twelve months has seen Chevin perform exceptionally well.

The company has grown from small, local roots here in Belper, into one of the global leaders in providing flexible management information systems for all types of transport operation.

With offices now in the UK, Ireland and the USA and a reseller network covering Africa, Asia and Australasia, our software is deployed in over 30 countries worldwide and we have over 750 customers using our systems globally.

We are confident that Chevin and our existing range of products will continue to offer our customers and prospective customers, ongoing stability, cost savings and peace of mind in an uncertain market.

Furthermore, we are also committed to the development of innovative new solutions, to continue to help to minimise fleet-related expenditure."
