The reason for a reduction in company car mileage is a steady increase in fuel prices, and a growing focus on the environment, but despite fewer company car journeys, the outlook for vehicle leasing is positive.

Many organizations are choosing car leasing as opposed to outright purchase or grey fleet.  For the layman Grey Fleet, as it is known refers to business miles traveled by employees in their own cars.  It is called Grey, because the vehicles fall into a grey area of responsibility, very often overlooked and misunderstood, thus grey fleet travel can hide millions of miles traveled each year by employees.

The average age of a company car leasing vehicle is less than two years old compared to the average age of a grey fleet car being over seven years old, and one of the reasons for the move to car leasing is the realization by organisations of a duty of care owed to their employees driving on business.  Surveys show that around one in three road accidents involve a vehicle being driven for work, and this is costing UK industry over £2.5 billion each year, but more importantly around 200 work related deaths or serious injuries every week.

Vehicle leasing makes sense in many ways, to both companies and the private sector alike, such as cost, maintenance and repair costs, and depreciation of a car’s value, not forgetting freeing up cash that the customer can spend more productively elsewhere.

For a company seriously thinking of car leasing for the first time, if you take this route, you will not be sorry, contract hire is now the most popular way of acquiring a business vehicle, figures show us that more than half of all new company cars are funded this way.

It can be so easy, a lease can be set for a specific time span, with specified mileage, the initial fee, usually three months rental, and after that a monthly charge and the beauty of this is after the contractual period the vehicle is returned to the leasing company.

For all car leasing UK all you have to do is log on to Clever Leasing an independent expert in all aspects of vehicle leasing.  From great prices, professional service from first contact to the delivery of your vehicle, they understand the leasing business and how it works, and by listening to what you want and need, they will ensure that you get the car you desire at the price you deserve.

A spokesman for Clever Leasing based in Stone Staffordshire said “we are experts in contract car hire and vehicle leasing, and you can view the latest offers and the best deals on a fantastically wide range of cars, on our web site, we can also offer you a fast and competitive solution to car insurance, because of our association with A Plan Motor Insurance Company”.

In today’s economy the outlook is positive for vehicle leasing to move forward for both business and private customers, see for yourself and log on to Clever Leasing’s web site and you will understand why they are way, way ahead of the competition.

Medford, MA —

HEIRLOOM COFFEE, LLC announced today the introduction of a new Ready-To-Drink Vietnamese Iced Coffee beverage in an 8 ounce can. Highlands Coffee (Division of Viet-Thai International Co., LTD) has named Heirloom Coffee as the initial USA Distributor for their introduction of the new Iced Coffee line that has been successfully introduced in 21 countries worldwide since its first production in December 2009.

The Ready-To-Drink (RTD) Iced Coffee is created from intense, fresh-brewed Highlands Vietnamese Coffee and a combination of skim milk and non-dairy creamer for a rich but light touch on ice. The 8 ounce can reproduces the typical serving size of a traditional Vietnamese Iced Coffee as served in cafés across Southeast Asia, including Highlands Coffee’s 60+ coffee shops dotting the landscape and city scapes of Vietnam’s popular tourist and business destinations.

The Vietnamese Iced Coffee is available in two variations, Iced Coffee Black and Iced Coffee with Milk.

Black coffee in Southeast Asia usually includes sweetener but is less sweet than a coffee with milk or cream. The Black version is stronger and less sweet than the Iced Coffee with Milk.

Highlands Coffee invested two years in R&D to create an RTD coffee that truly captures the strength and freshness of fresh-brewed Vietnamese-style coffee (brewed one cup at a time at the diner’s table in a traditional metal filter called a Phin). Unlike many RTD coffee drinks made from extracts and milk concentrates or powders, the Vietnamese Iced

Coffee with Milk has a unique fresh taste due to the use of fresh-brewed coffee dispensed directly into cans with a blend of skim milk and non-dairy creamer that produces a consistency over ice that is smooth and light. Heirloom Coffee, LLC has performed initial tests with focus groups and found enthusiastic acceptance for the products across all consumer demographics.

“In fact,” says Len Brault, CEO of Heirloom Coffee, “We had a hard time keeping any stock on the initial test runs. Our employees and visitors continually drank any of the product that wasn’t hidden. We found we couldn’t keep the samples in a refrigerator or any visible shelves, or they would be gone soon.”

Within three months of the product’s introduction, VTI has sold 30 full containers to over 17 countries. A prominent beverage distributor in Australia called the product line “Blockbuster” and ordered 2 containers in October a full two months before the initial final production run.

Heirloom Coffee expects success for the new product line in convenience stores, mini-marts, groceries and supermarkets, and has recipes and serving suggestions for restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, etc. who would like to offer specialty drinks such as Vietnamese Coffee Ice Smoothies.

Mr. Brault, whose company has been marketing Vietnamese coffee to the USA since 2005, feels “Highlands Coffee Vietnamese Iced Coffee is an idea whose time has come. Every year tens of thousands of visitors to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand come back with fond memories of intense and delicious Vietnamese Iced Coffee as served at cafés across Southeast Asia. This is not a typical American Coffee-in-a-Can. It’s an intense, fresh, naturally lifting and refreshing drink for any time of year. Repeat customer satisfaction is off the charts in comparison to the control products in our test tastes.”
