Fleet Newcomer Finds DAVIS Fleet ‘Invaluable’

When stepping into a new role in fleet management, having the right tools at your disposal can make all the difference. That’s exactly what Emma Curtis, Fleet and Business Support Executive at Airmec Essential Services, discovered when she began managing the company’s fleet of cars and vans with just nine months’ experience in the role.

Airmec, based in Bristol, delivers specialist air hygiene and water treatment services across the UK. With contracts in high-security Government facilities and NHS premises, the business relies on its 38-strong fleet – including 30 Ford Transit Custom vans for technicians, alongside a mix of hybrid and electric company cars for account managers – to operate smoothly.

For Emma, taking on responsibility for the fleet was a significant challenge. That’s where DAVIS Fleet, the fleet management solution from Licence Check, proved to be “invaluable.”

Driving Licence Checks at the Heart of Compliance

Fleet safety and compliance are critical at Airmec, where drivers operate in sensitive environments. Using the Driving Licence check functionality within DAVIS, Emma ensures that all drivers are properly validated:

• Low-risk drivers are checked once a year.

• Higher-risk drivers – those with more penalty points or previous claims – are checked every six months.

By using the real-time licence verification service, Emma has confidence that every driver on the road is legally compliant, significantly reducing the organisation’s occupational road risk.

“Everything is managed through DAVIS Fleet – from driver licence checks to mileage recording and CO₂ monitoring. As a result, we’ve been able to move towards becoming a virtually paperless office,” she added.

Streamlined Fleet Management

In addition to licence checking, Emma uses DAVIS Fleet to manage:

• Adding new vehicles to the system.

• Scheduling service, maintenance and repair (SMR).

• Managing insurance claims and fines.

• Monitoring fuel usage and emissions.

• Producing reports for PIID and compliance purposes.

All vehicles are fitted with telematics, enabling Airmec to track downtime and monitor driving behaviours. Drivers with multiple claims are offered online driver training through DAVIS, supporting continuous improvement and safer driving standards.

A Complete Fleet Solution

Licence Check’s DAVIS platform (Driver and Vehicle Information Solutions) has evolved from being widely recognised for Driving Licence checks into a comprehensive fleet management system.

Keith Allen, Managing Director of Licence Check, commented:

“DAVIS Fleet is designed to be easy to use for fleets of all sizes. Emma’s experience at Airmec shows that even newcomers can manage a fleet as effectively as seasoned professionals. Our goal is to help fleet managers run operations more cost-effectively, more sustainably and with complete peace of mind over compliance.”
