Safestyle UK Gets Show On The Road With New Van Fleet

Windows and doors giant Safestyle UK has signed a deal for the delivery of a new fleet of 170 vans.

OSWALDTWISTLE, ENGLAND, November 06, 2010

DOUBLE glazing giant Safestyle UK is celebrating the delivery of a new fleet of 170 state-of-the-art vans.
The nationwide windows and doors company has signed a contract for the very latest Renault Master vehicles.
The Renault Master is a front-wheel drive van, which has a greater payload, load length and load height than Safestyle's previous installation vehicles.
Launched earlier in 2010, the vans are also renowned for their fuel economy, style and ergonomically designed cabin.
Dave Clarke, Safestyle UK's Director of Operations, revealed: "We are thrilled about the new fleet of vans and that our award-winning fitters will be in brand new vehicles.
"We always take great pride in our work and we now have a new fleet of vans that are instantly recognisable as our own brand. This further stresses our commitment to customers.
"The vans have a greater load space, excellent fuel economy and are extremely stylish. We think they represent a great choice for any fleet. We are looking forward to getting the show on the road."
The supply of the new fleet was negotiated with the help of Expense Reduction Analysts (ERA) Fleet Cost Management Ltd, a specialist division of ERA.
ERA is a market leader in supplier, cost and purchase management and work with clients across the public and private sectors to reduce costs, drive efficiencies and offer advice on best practice.
The contract allowed Safestyle UK to make savings of 16% on its fleet operation costs.
Principal Consultant at ERA Fleet Cost Management, Sean Bingham, said: "Safestyle UK agreed it was the most cost-efficient and appropriate van for its teams of fitters."
Darren Payne, Renault UK's Director of Fleet and CV Operations, added: "Safestyle UK's fleet of new Master vans has already passed a stringent set of criteria to make sure they offer the best value possible."
Andy Kyle, Safestyle UK's Transport Manager, also commented, "Our award-winning installation teams are eager to get to work with the new vans. As a mobile workshop the added bonus of a lower floor height will make loading and access easier and safer. We are also looking forward to working with our contract hire supplier, Arval, who will be managing all our servicing needs."
Safestyle UK, which set up in 1992, has experienced extensive growth and fitted more than GBP100 million of windows, composite doors, doors and patio doors in UK properties last year. The Bradford-based company has 40 branches across the UK to satisfy huge demand for its products.
