BELFOR UK strengthens national response capability with new fleet partnership

Leading disaster recovery and restoration firm, BELFOR UK has appointed Novuna Vehicle Solutions as its fleet management partner. Novuna will facilitate a modernised, fully maintained fleet that enhances response times, strengthens continuity, and supports faster claims progression for insurers, FM partners, and end-customers.

Novuna will take responsibility for 254 existing fleet assets, including company cars and light commercial vehicles used in BELFOR UK’s restoration and reinstatement operations nationwide. As part of the agreement, 84 vehicles will be refreshed across 2026, introducing a new generation of mobile response units converted specifically for BELFOR UK’s restoration and recovery operations. These vehicles are equipped with specialist drying, water extraction, air filtration, cleaning, and contamination‑removal tools and equipment, so technicians can begin mitigation and restoration work as soon as they arrive at fire, flood, storm, and major loss sites.

This investment strengthens BELFOR UK’s operational resilience and supports its strategy to enhance efficiency and maintain consistent nationwide coverage during both ‘business as usual’ and surge periods. Through full fleet management, maintenance, compliance support and access to daily rental solutions, Novuna will support BELFOR UK’s ability to stay mobile and have available vehicles when demand peaks.

Hein Hemke, Managing Director of BELFOR UK, comments: “Our customers rely on us to respond quickly and professionally at some of the most challenging moments they face. A reliable, well‑managed fleet is essential to delivering that promise. Partnering with Novuna strengthens our operational resilience and ensures our teams have the reliable, fit‑for‑purpose vehicles they need to deliver fast, effective restoration services across the UK. This partnership is a key part of our strategy to modernise our fleet and further enhance the service we deliver to insurers, businesses and homeowners.”

Jon Lawes, Managing Director, Novuna Vehicle Solutions, said: “BELFOR UK operates an operationally critical fleet, supporting customers at some of the most challenging moments they may face. Our role is to ensure their drivers and stakeholders receive the right vehicles and the right support to keep their operations moving. This partnership is a strong example of how we bring together operational excellence, customer focus and practical fleet expertise.”

The partnership supports BELFOR UK’s future fleet strategy, improving reliability, controlling costs and providing a stronger, more resilient platform for continued operational delivery across the UK.
