Fleet Mobile

What Fleet Mobile does

Fleet Mobile Communications Ltd is a UK-based specialist in business mobile communications, founded in 1986 and headquartered in New Eltham, London. The company provides fully managed mobile solutions to small and medium businesses, large enterprises, and public sector organizations including social housing associations and local authorities. Operating with 11-50 employees under founder leadership for 39 years, Fleet Mobile functions as a long-tenured, owner-operated specialist rather than a scaled reseller.

The company's product offering is built around managed mobile services: handset supply across Apple and Samsung lines, tariff brokering and management with Virgin Media O2, EE, and Vodafone, Mobile Device Management, IoT connectivity, in-house device repair through its Apple Authorised Service Centre accreditation, and dedicated technical support and consultancy. The portfolio has been extended to include Lone Worker solutions and App Development. Fleet Mobile also holds Crown Commercial Service framework supplier status on RM6261 Lots 2 and 4, providing a direct public sector sales channel alongside its private commercial account base.

Fleet Mobile's revenue model spans device sales, recurring tariff commissions and management fees, device repair services, and professional services/consultancy. Customer relationships are characteristically long-tenured — Clarins has been a client for over 20 years, SJE since 1996, and multiple social housing associations have partnered with the firm for over a decade. Distribution combines direct account management with framework-based public sector access. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification continuously since 1993, Cyber Essentials (2023), and won Virgin Media O2's All Blue Engage Partner of the Year award in 2024.
