Van Sales UK shakes up the new vehicle market with hassle-free online order system Van Sales UK could be the answer to your CV supply issues In these uncertain times, with global supply chain problems and the continuing impact of the Covid 19 pandemic, what many van buyers want most of all is speed and simplicity. Independent supplier Van Sales UK offers just those qualities – with access to new vehicles of all brands and a slick, quick online system that allows the customer to complete an entire transaction and even arrange delivery from any location with internet access or a mobile phone signal. Van Sales UK, a division of parent company Vanaways, is an internet-based business. There’s no big shiny showroom or yard full of vans waiting to be sold, so overheads are kept to a minimum. Instead, its sales experts work over phone and email networks, taking inquiries and orders and matching customers up with their perfect vehicle selections without ever needing to have contact with either. The intention is to make the buying process
as easy as possible – and to provide access to the widest range of vans – to ensure customer get the vehicles they need to keep their businesses rolling. All vans are backed by full manufacturer warranty and after sales packages and a range of finance options are available. Van Sales UK can even take away
older vehicles in part-exchange. Director Chris Jakeways said: “Our aim was to disrupt the marketplace and offer van customers something new – and that’s what we’ve achieved. Our business model is entirely driven by having the best technology to make the process of buying new vans as quick and
It’s a perfect 10 from the Wring Group Demolition expert Wring Group turned to independent supplier Van Sales UK for a new fleet, with a rapid lead time that knocked down all competitors. The Bristol-based operator needed 10 small vans urgently, to replace ageing vehicles that were becoming uneconomical to keep on the road, and Van Sales UK pulled out all the stops to source and supply the fleet to a very tight timeframe. Director Dean Wring explained: “We run 45 vans of various sizes but these smaller vehicles are our day-to-day workhorses, and vital to keep our operation running smoothly. They’re used by plant machinery operators and supervisors to get to and from sites, and for a host of other requirements. “Some of the vans we had been using were reaching an age where they were giving us problems, so we needed replacements and could not afford to wait a long time to get them in. I spoke to several suppliers, including manufacturers’ franchised dealers, but none could provide what I needed anywhere near as quickly as Van Sales UK.” Now all in service, the vans are Citroen Berlingo BlueHDi models with 1.5-litre engines, which each generate 100ps.

specification includes air-conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity, rear parking sensors, cruise control and touch screen displays. Each has a third passenger seat and a protective bulkhead with load hatch for carrying long items. “We’ve had Berlingo vans before and they suit our needs well – but there are other, equally good vehicles on the market,” said Mr Wring. “That’s why the choice of brand was less important than finding a supplier who could provide the vehicles we wanted quickly, and with minimum fuss. “We’ve dealt with Van Sales UK before, so were not surprised when they gave by far the
keenest response to our request. As ever, their Sales Executive Stuart Meale came back very fast with a highly competitive quote, and the order was processed extremely smoothly – all done over the phone, without me needing to leave my desk. “The vehicles were delivered to our premises in perfect condition, exactly as ordered – including full interior plywood lining – within less than three weeks from my initial inquiry. That’s exemplary service,” he added. Family-owned Wring Group was established in 1926 by Sydney Joseph Wring, the grandfather of current Directors Dean and John Wring. The company carries out a wide range of demolition, decontamination and waste management services, including asbestos removal, across the UK. In addition to its vans the Wring Group fleet includes 20 trucks and 50 pieces of plant machinery.
