June Killoury has assumed the role of chair of the 1link Hire Network
Customer Forum, whilst the incumbent Anna Hobbs takes maternity leave.
The 1link Hire Network Customer Forum is the body that represents major
fleets which use epyx's daily rental e-commerce platform to manage their
hire needs.
June has been a member of the Forum, on which 12 leading fleets are
represented, since it was launched in 2009. The Forum meets every quarter
and, being completely independent of epyx, is designed to provide an
impartial voice.
June, who is Head of Customer Relations at Lombard Vehicle Management said:
"The 1link Hire Network platform is becoming more and more extensively used
across the fleet industry for the buying and management of daily rental.
"The Forum fulfils an important role in promoting best practice, discussing
new ideas and also guiding future development of the platform."
Launched in 2006, 1link Hire Network is an e-commerce platform that brings
together car and van rental suppliers and purchasers in real-time, and has
been widely adopted.
For purchasers of daily rental services such as major fleets, it enables
online access to multi supplier quotations and hire pricing. For daily
rental suppliers, it ensures that invoices are always correct by
electronically validating them through the 1link system as well as providing
access to new customers. As with other 1link platforms, a major benefit for
all parties is the massive reduction in telephone traffic to manage
bookings.
