BOLTON and Bury Chamber's competitive new vehicle options scheme is on the road to success with its first delighted customer.

And demonstrating complete faith in the exclusive service for Chamber members is customer number one Kathryn Czaja.

She is the business to business support agency's new commercial director who has bought her own personal car through the Chamber vehicle options initiative.

And in the fast lane as far as the scheme is concerned is Academy Fleet Services, based at the Albert Close Trading Estate in Whitefield.

Kathryn said: "Academy, who run our vehicle options service, have really proved themselves.

"They've acquired the precise type and colour of car I wanted, a month sooner than anyone else could obtain it and at nearly £3,000 less than the nearest quote."

She added: "What's more, they loaned me a free courtesy car while I was waiting for delivery and saved me £300 on my insurance.

"I'm bowled over by the deal they provided and the excellent customer service I received."

Chamber vehicle options, in conjunction with Academy Fleet Services, offers members a comprehensive vehicle management service.

This embraces initial purchase through to funding, maintenance, accident repair and, finally, vehicle disposal. The service can also be used by staff of Chamber members and their families.

This scheme is one of five new cost-cutting services from the Chamber, including healthcare, energy, financial services and telecoms.
