Testimonials

I wanted to provide recognition to the absolute world class service that I have grown to appreciate from Summit Fleet Leasing and Management. In my capacity as Director of Field Service Excellence / Services EHS for the Global Leader of Retail Technology Software and Services, NCR Voyix, among other things, I am responsible for all global fleet vehicle operations.

Our fleet is used by Field Service Technicians as their rolling warehouse of parts, their mobile workshop, their office – and of course, their only mode of transportation to reach our customers. We operate a fleet of 2500 predominantly light duty vans in 14 countries – with my internal fleet operations team of six managers and analyst, we collaborate with seven different Fleet Management providers like Summit Fleet Leasing & Management. We know what “excellence” looks like, because we have broad exposure to all the major players in this space.

As a data driven organisation  – and a fleet team that lives by it – I wanted to specifically give mention to the data analytics that we have at our fingertips 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year (I am sure there are planned outages, but I do not recall any impact whatsoever). The Summit Portal is robust, easy to use and intuitive. All manners of data are presented via real time live reports, scheduled reports that are consistently delivered to specific inbox, as well as comprehensive analytics suite covering every scenario that one could ask for to develop keen insights on the Safety and Efficiency of Fleet Operations.

To add, the analytics are highly customisable via filters and views can be saved for ease. Finally, all the data is simple to export for internal analysis.

When you pair my gratitude for the data with the responsiveness of our Summit Relationship team, the market trends and expertise that you share with us, and the overall operational efficiency we achieve together – you certainly encourage me to set the bar higher for our other providers. Thanks for being World Class and I cannot wait to see how we can continuously iterate and further our fleet efficiency!

“Faber-Castell has been a customer of Summit Fleet for many years.  In all my dealings with Summit they have always been very professional and helpful. It is such a pleasure to have Bianca Templin as our Relationship Executive.  Bianca is extremely helpful, knowledgeable and is very prompt with any request. I look forward to continuing our relationship into the future.”

“Life Education has been with Summit since November 2016. Summit has been attentive to our needs and provided cost effective solutions, where required. Their staff are easy to reach and respond to our questions in a timely manner. Regular review meetings keep our Fleet up to date and cost savings/improvements are always addressed.”

“Distinctive Options is a not-for-profit charitable organisation providing support services to people with disabilities in Victoria.  Our organisation has partnered  with Summit Fleet to manage our fleet needs, since 2018.  Summit Fleet is attentive to our needs and prompt to act when required.  We believe this is an excellent partnership that provides a win-win for both parties.  It is a business arrangement that other disability providers should consider, if they are not already doing so.”

Summit Fleet Leasing and Management have been managing our fleet, consisting of trucks and light commercial vehicles, since April 2017. We are very pleased with the ease in which they work with service providers – arranging prompt payments and providing clear and concise reporting, tailored to our specific requirements. Mainmark are pleased to have Summit Fleet as a business partner.

Legrand Australia and Summit Fleet have had an association that goes back to 2010. Claire Sutherland’s understanding of our business has resulted in developing dynamic solutions for when inevitable business challenges arise to keep our team on the road. I consider Summit Fleet and Claire to be true business partners.

From the start of Water Corporation’s tender process in August 2018, through to the live event as our fleet management provider in December 2020, Summit Fleet ensured at each stage of the implementation process clear and concise communications were maintained and expectations qualified to ensure a successful outcome to the project. With a combined state-wide asset base in excess of 2,600 individual items covering vehicles, marine craft, plant, and equipment, Summit Fleet delivered a seamless transition with minimal impact to our business. One aspect for Water Corporation which made our implementation both efficient and delivered within planned timescales, was Summit Fleet’s ability to customise their systems to integrate with the data, systems, and reporting of Water Corporation, across our 21 individual business divisions as part of one implementation.

From the moment I made contact with Summit Fleet, I felt comfortable. This was the Fleet Company I’d been looking for.
Dean Bigaignon, Business Development Executive has been an absolute pleasure to deal with and made the transition to Summit Fleet easy. His knowledge, professionalism, passion for numbers and his ability to go above and beyond to help us with whatever we needed has been amazing. Even after signing with Summit Fleet as a customer, my interaction with Dean has continued and he regularly checks in to see how things are going. He is always responsive to our needs.

The fleet of Assa Abloy has been managed by Summit Fleet since 2014 and during that time our account has always been managed proactively, professionally and competently by Kathryn and Megan. The team partner with us to achieve the best outcome to ensure that our fleet is running efficiently and cost effectively. Issues are dealt with in a prompt manner and the support I receive from Kathryn & Megan is superb.

Kathryn goes above and beyond to work with me to maximize our fleet, manage reporting and reduce cost blowouts and the whole Summit Fleet team are always there to answer my questions and provide workable solutions to issues as they arise. 10 out of 10!

First Choice Super has the pleasure of working with Summit Fleet who manage our motor vehicle fleet. In our dealings with our Relationship Executive, Bianca Templin, we have always come across proficient and accurate work with all of our requests.

Bianca has produced a significant volume of work to ensure our fleet runs optimally and efficiently, she attends to all requests without hesitation and delivers in a timely manner. The work Bianca has produced has also been acknowledged by our Executive, endorsing our choice of partnering with Summit Fleet.

I would also like to thank Summit Fleet for resolving a servicing issue we were not even aware of. Through the regular review process Bianca discovered this issue, investigated how and when it occurred, then worked through the process of ensuring we were refunded. Now that’s customer service rarely seen these days.

Bianca is always cheerful and is such a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to working with Summit Fleet in the future.

Bitzer and Summit Fleet joined hands in September 2017 for our fleet needs. Since that time, the team at Summit Fleet has continually made us feel like a valued customer. Special mention needs to be made for our Relationship Manager, Claire Sutherland who we find to be extremely professional, very committed and very approachable to all our concerns and most importantly a delight to deal with. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship into the future.

Having worked with the team at Summit Fleet Leasing and Management from March 2020 on a new fleet of vehicles, I have only ever been impressed by their professional approach to our business, and the level of communication received from them.  The attention to detail and commitment to ensuring the most comprehensive information is provided at each interaction, is totally reassuring of our decision to use the services of Summit Fleet.  Our internal teams have only spoken highly of the Summit Fleet team, and the fact that they can provide services covering all aspects of fleet leasing, allows us to pick a car, drive it and leave the rest to Summit Fleet. Their suite of reports, which can be tailored to our individual needs, offers the best and most complete outcome to us, and as we evolve, we know that Summit Fleet have us covered.  We look forward to working with Summit Fleet into the future.

Bianca, our Account Manager, and Tracy, our Account Administrator, are extremely helpful and knowledgeable on all products and services provided by Summit Fleet. They are also able to resolve any issue that we come across from an internal business perspective. Their forward thinking helps Samsung achieve our ongoing and changing requirements.

Veris have had a relationship with Summit Fleet  since 2019. Being a national leader in the provision of Survey, Spatial and Planning services, it is critical to the success of the Veris business that our national fleet of vehicles is managed effectively and efficiently. Summit have assisted with the implementation of a nationwide vehicle policy, which has led to improvements in cost and operational discipline, as well as better interaction with our drivers. The recent introduction of the Summit Connect™ telematics package into the Veris fleet has also seen improvements in driver safety. We appreciate the help and input of the Summit Fleet WA team and look forward to continuing our strong relationship into the future

When the time came for Kannegiesser Australia to start looking at changing our vehicle lease service provider, we approached 3 different Fleet Management Organisations. One company never returned our enquiry and the other never followed up. We were then contacted by Bree Allen from Summit Fleet who discussed with us our fleet service requirements and presented a solution using the Summit Fleet reporting suite and fleet analysis tools. We were hooked from there. When we requested comparative quotes for vehicles, Bree was able to present a clear and concise solution – even offering cost-effective alternatives. We have since moved all our vehicle lease expiry/replacements to Summit Fleet and will continue to do so. Our business in Australia is growing and I can see Summit Fleet as a Business Partner to Kannegiesser Australia, not just a service provider.

Throughout our dealings with Summit Fleet, Clenergy have received nothing but outstanding advice and support from the team. Our Novated Business Development Executive, John Ovcaric, exhibits extension knowledge in Novated Leasing, relevant tax legislation and is able to effectively provide great guidance and quick turnaround to any inquiries we have. The team at Summit Fleet were not only accommodating throughout the early stages of transactions, however provided great after sale services and support to Clenergy when requested.

Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand have worked with Summit Fleet since 2018. The team at Summit Fleet have excelled in their abilities to support us with all our fleet management needs. I cannot speak highly enough about the team, their dedication and the customer service is of absolute excellence.

Dean Bigaignon, our Business Development Executive is a great asset to Summit Fleet, he goes above and beyond his ability to provide prompt responses and solutions alongside Jessica Kola who is very knowledgeable and great to interact with. I would have no hesitation in recommending Summit Fleet as a preferred supplier.

Summit Fleet offer the best Customer Service of any business I have dealt with in 30 years of Financial Management. Bianca Templin, our Relationship Manager is professional, efficient, friendly and understanding of our company’s needs in an ever changing environment. Summit Fleet should be proud of their team and I would recommend dealing with Summit Fleet to anyone.

It is great to work with a team like Summit Fleet that we have had a long and positive association with over many, many years. I value your help and support, not just to “deliver” the service but how such is delivered, understanding our organisation and continuing to work with us on positive solutions. You are a credit to your industry and thank you all for all you do to support us and our mission.

She has always been my go-to person to any inquiry and she would always assist every time. Bianca goes beyond her normal call of duty which makes dealing with Summit Fleet so easy and great.

John Ovcaric truly understands the intricacies of Novated Leasing and how Summit Fleet’s range of related products and services can benefit your organisation. The pros and cons of novating vehicles were presented to differing Atherton stakeholders concisely, enabling well informed personal and business decisions. John is very approachable and was more than happy to pull together a large number of scenarios on a range of vehicles, durations and packaging options. He has detailed product knowledge and responds in a timely manner to any question however complex. I look forward to a long working relationship with John and Summit Fleet

In all my dealings with Summit Fleet, I always come across a professional group of people who are only too willing to assist and help staff with their Novated Leases. Customer service is always delivered pleasantly and efficiently, whilst enquiries are addressed immediately. Recognition needs to be given to Eva Colbran who is a delight to deal with and is always willing to go over and beyond her normal call of duty.

Sumitomo (SHI) Hansen have been partnered with Summit Fleet Leasing and Management since 2001 and in that period have developed a very strong relationship. Even though we may be considered a small fleet compared to other national companies, our fleet of vehicles is spread out all over Australia. As such, the tiniest detail is so very important when keeping a national sales force happy. Sarah Khalaf is our current Account Manager and her patience and care for our business is the difference between Summit and other fleet companies. Nothing is too big a problem for Sarah and we had a few curly ones this year. Her approach to resolving any issues is a personal one and will do everything possible with the support of the Summit team to ensure that our sales team continues to operate. I can’t recommend Summit highly enough for any business looking for a Fleet Vehicle Service.

Sky News run a demanding 24 hour media operation and our vehicle fleet is a key tool for our bureaus across the nation. Summit Fleet has been a great partner to our business over the years and I continue to be impressed by the personal and professional service we get.

Simon and Carolyn are as good a team as I have seen.
It is a pleasure partnering with your front and back room people.

I have had the pleasure of working with Bianca since she was our Business Administrator. Since Bianca has become our Relationship Executive, I have learnt more about how things work within Summit Fleet which is important to us as a business. Bianca has made it easier than I thought possible in assisting me in managing  our fleet through Summit Fleet so I can focus on other core aspects of the business. It is a pleasure to work closely with her on our account.

Summit Fleet are not just a fleet management service provider but a business partner of Nutrimetics Australia.
They tailor the service to fit our needs and respect our unique business character.
Summit Fleet’s professional service offers not only reasonable lease costs but also total fleet operation solutions.

We have worked with Summit for many years now. They excel in their ability to support us with our fleet management requirements. We cannot speak highly enough of their dedication and customer service excellence. Claire Sutherland is a knowledgeable Relationship Manager, who excels in her ability to provide prompt responses and solution to the various issues that arise. I have no hesitation in recommending them as a preferred supplier.

My business has been growing the last few years, as has our team and the number of vehicles we needed. Corey and Summit Fleet were able to show me a better way to source, build and manage my fleet of vehicles, that has saved me time and money and allowed me to focus more on my business and my key customers. What was previously a time consuming process of sourcing, building and running our vehicle fleet, is changing into a more efficient and better way of doing business for us.

Running a growing national business in the Emergency Response Industry from a Head Office in WA requires considerable time and effort. By partnering with Summit Fleet in 2018, we have been able to take advantage their knowledge, experience and personalised approach to achieve a better and more efficient outcome for FRSA in the leasing and management of our vehicles. Summit took time out to get to know us and our business and recommend a strategy of vehicle fleet management that works well for us. We look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with Summit Fleet in the years ahead.

In 2017 it was apparent that our operation was lacking the support of our field team due to them having to supply their own vehicles. An immediate fix was required for this and upon searching for a fleet partner to help us grow our business, Summit Fleet stood out from the pack. Breehan was able to find a solution that worked for us in every way. She and Summit Fleet were patient with us as we moved through making many other decisions in our business and when it was time to get the fleet implemented, it could not have been done in a more professional way. The Summit Fleet team are polite, professional, market leaders. Importantly they spend a lot of time understanding our business and how they could assist us with our mobility requirements. Our business has seen huge growth in the last 13 months and part of this is certainly attributable to our great working partnership with Summit Fleet.

Rip Curl & Ozmosis are proud of our association with Summit Fleet. Our relationship started in 2014 and the whole experience is miles ahead of our previous fleet provider.

Summit have proven time and time again to add value to our fleet and our business. Nothing is ever too hard and they go above and beyond for us as the customer. It is refreshing having Summit in our corner fighting for our best interests.

We recommended Summit at every opportunity.

Achieve Australia embarked on an exercise in early 2015 to better understand how to leverage our motor vehicle assets which are an essential asset used in delivery of services. Ultimately, Summit Fleet understood our needs and provided a comprehensive solution that included considerable saving in fleet management costs together with a sales and leaseback option, full management of our fleet and forecasting future needs.

Summit Fleet also provides a dedicated account manager who is readily available to answer questions and is also committed to a hands-on approach in delivering on expectations and assist with further vehicle asset strategy. Summit Fleet delivers other resources from time-to-time to assist with bulk rollouts of new vehicles; reporting; data analytics through their BI Platform and ‘GPS Telematics’ which provides further information in managing the fleet, whilst ensuring the safety of our drivers and clients.

I would not hesitate in recommending Summit Fleet for your fleet management requirements and with the knowledge and support of Ben Dodd, Corporate Relationship Manager; Sarah Khalaf and Bianca Templin, Business Administrators and Breehan Allen, Business Development Executive, you will be in good hands.

Summit Fleet have been exceptional in the management and transition of our fleet to their service. They have assisted from the outset in offering flexible tailored solutions which given the complexities of our owned cars and cars provided by other fleet companies was in itself very helpful to our business.

Nothing was too much of a problem and in a relatively short period of around seven months we are fully operational with a fleet service our staff are very happy with. Delivery of vehicles, pricing, service and analysis of our fleet behaviour through Summit Analytics has provided information, even at the seven month stage of operations that has benefited our fleet fourfold.

Sue McLean and Kerri Gordon were our main contacts through the whole process. Their whole approach to Customer service, tailored solutions and genuine interest in providing what we as a company needed. This was welcomed by the tender team as it moved away from the traditional hard sell of ‘this is what you need’ approach to ‘how can we give you what your company needs’, such a refreshing approach and ultimately, along with competitive pricing what won them the tender.

An exceptional company, not the biggest on the circuit but from Key Assets perspective a provider of choice for our fleet business. Well done Summit Fleet!

Challenge has grown to twice its size and doubled its fleet and Summit Fleet has been a great corporate partner in enabling this transition to happen smoothly.

We have an assigned “Relationship Manager” who has a great understanding of our special requirements and business ethos with personalised service. As a diverse community service provider, our requests for “out of the ordinary” have been met with a can-do attitude.

Summit Fleet’s experts enable us to save thousands of dollars by them scrutinising and future planning our reports which are easily accessible via the website as well as ensuring compliance of our fleet.

Summit are able to provide an efficient and professional service that is personalised to our needs. We have been extremely happy with Summit as our Fleet provider and gladly recommend them to other organisations.

We have worked with Summit for about 3 years now and found them to be a thoroughly professional organisation. Their customer service and knowledge is of the highest order.

I would not hesitate to recommend them as a preferred supplier.

Having dealt with Summit Fleet since 2009, I am aware of the growth they have experienced since that time and that growth has not compromised the professional approach or the service provided.

The personalised account management and consistency at Summit Fleet is always a breath of fresh air. The friendly and supportive culture enables effective decision making and new processes implemented with changes in the fleet industry.

The Account Managers look to find effective solutions quickly and are actively engaged in clear communication and attention to detail.

Summit Fleet continue to exceed expectations.

The Mater Foundation continues to enjoy a strong partnership with Summit Fleet which delivers a mutual arrangement that has benefited Mater and its employees, whilst adding value to our company.

The Mater look forward to continue its long standing relationship with Summit Fleet as they are very much a part of our story.
