"IN THIS GAME there are no prizes for coming second or even joint first," said Dennis Benson, managing director of Multipart, Leyland's all-makes truck and bus component business. He was referring to the first six months' experience of the scheme by which, if a vehicle is off the road, Multipart accepts a penalty for late delivery of parts.
Of well over 100,000 order lines dispatched, only seven failed to satisfy the condition that, if ordered by noon, they would be delivered the next working day. The disappointed operators received them free up to a value of £100 per part number or £1,000 per order.
Multipart and Volvo can fight between themselves for first prize, but please leave me out of it.
