Recruiter had an interesting offer earlier this week: would we consider investigating the importance of choosing company vehicles that match the personality of employees?

The leasing car expert Ling Valentine is willing to explain what type of employee really drives a 4x4 and just what happens to productivity if your stereotypical sports car driver is given an eco-friendly electric motor as a fleet car.

The chairman of Pertemps and well known aficionado of high-end cars would no doubt discover a different side to his personality.

And if such an insight to the psyche of your driving employees would be of interest, do let us know…
