Vauxhall’s television company deal proves the sky’s the limit 08 May 2012

In one the biggest single orders for Vauxhall Fleet in Northern Ireland, Belfast-based Fleet Financial has delivered 70 customised Vauxhall Vivaro vans to Sierra Support Services.

The £2 million fleet, put together with the help of Vauxhall Fleet Sales, will tour Northern Ireland as part of Sky TV's installation and service team.

Each of the Vivaros, powered by a common-rail 2-litre CDTi engine, has been installed with specialist shelving, roof racks and graphics.

The operation ran so smoothly that the vans were turned around in just six weeks, and the operators could collect their vehicles, uniform, equipment and parts from a central location and start work the next day.

Jim Humphreys, from Fleet Financials, says: "The strong support, all the way from the factory to the dealer, was key to us winning the deal and supplying these vehicles."

And he continues: "The Vivaro is rightly recognised as a national fleet vehicle, and because we've worked with the Vauxhall brand for the last 15 years, this gave us the absolute faith in the vehicles' abilities.

"Rather than supply a number of different makes and model of van, we were able to deliver 70 identical vehicles. We're confident of the vans' capabilities, the servicing costs and the lack of downtime through reliability issues. You can't afford to have this kind of vehicle off the road."
