How Wessex Fleet Started:
Wessex Fleet was founded in 2004 by our three directors Tim McNally, Simon Naylor and Spencer Blake. The three were friends long before they founded the business, and between them had just shy of twenty years’ experience in the leasing and rental sector working for others when they decided to set up their own business.
There were two main factors that prompted them to form their own company. On a personal level, they wanted more time with their young families so needed a better work-life balance. On a professional level, they were determined to create an environment where the customer’s experience is at the heart of everything, something they had noticed wasn't always the case with other companies.
