Sewells Information & Research is currently working alongside Fleet News to produce this year's Fleet Operator Attitude Survey.

Part of Bauer Media, Sewells has been the UK’s leading independent retail motor industry researcher for more than 40 years.

The aim of this annual survey is to see how fleet operators, like yourself, rate the vehicle manufacturers and dealers you do business with, and help to improve the service you receive from them.

The survey is strictly confidential, and as your company's name and address are not required you are assured complete confidentiality.

Together with Fleet News, Sewells carries out numerous surveys every year and specialises in researching first-hand what people in the retail and fleet industry think about products and suppliers.

Please spare 10 minutes of your time to complete the questionnaire - and as a thank you, you could win an iPod Touch.

Only fully completed surveys can contribute towards the research.
