MG ROVER'S success in the fleet market continues to grow with the company now signed up as the sole supplier of vehicles to the John Menzies Group.

In a contract worth £11m at showroom prices, MG Rover, in partnership with Arnold Clark Finance, will supply up to 1,000 cars over three years to John Menzies and associated companies.

Through a highly competitive tender process, MG Rover emerged as the front runner and the manufacturer best able to match John Menzies' requirements.

Ian Kelly, John Menzies Group transport manager, said: "We are delighted with the outcome of the tender process, which has further reaffirmed our confidence in MG Rover and its products."
