BRISTOL based broker Vanaways has supplied Jeffway with nine Euro 6 vans after the electrical contractor wanted to upgrade its fleet to meet the Bristol Clean Air Zone (CAZ) requirements.
Jeffway has more than 200 full-time team members working on electrical and construction contracts across the South West of England and South Wales.
It has taken delivery of eight Renault Trafic Business+ models with 2.0-litre engines and a single 1.5-litre Citroen Berlingo, which means it does not need to pay the £9 daily charge when the vehicles enter the Bristol CAZ.
According to Jeffway, it was the willingness of Vanaways to part-exchange older models which helped to win the business.
“We had some older vehicles that we needed to replace with Euro 6 vans, because a lot of our work is inside the Bristol Clean Air Zone. We started talking to a few suppliers, but many were either not interested in taking our older vans in part-ex, or wanted to make the process unnecessarily complicated. Vanaways immediately offered a stark contrast to that – we told them what we wanted and they agreed a package almost immediately. They took our old vehicles away and delivered the new ones to our premises within a tight timeframe, with no delays.”
Initially, Jeffway took five vehicles from Vanaways last summer and the experience was so positive that they had “no hesitation” in returning to them with a subsequent order for four more vans, according to Andrew.
All the vehicles were delivered with ply-lined interiors and are in daily use in social housing developments across Bristol.
“We were delighted to win the initial order from Jeffway, and even more pleased that our straightforward ordering system and rapid turnaround impressed them enough to win a second order too.”
