Commenting on their support for the van dealer community, Head of Sales Andy Muir notes;
“If vans are the workhorses of the UK economy, as is often written, then the dealers who sell, repair and maintain those vans should be recognised for the work that they do, which is often out of sight from the public. The opportunity to be at the heart of recognising dealers’ efforts makes perfect sense for us; after all, working alongside so many dealers, we see first-hand their commitment to excellence.”
