Commercial Vehicle Sales Continue to Rise

April 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Figures released recently by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) indicate an increase in sales for vans and commercial vehicles in the UK for the first quarter of 2010.

Year on year comparisons showed an increasing growth in sales, with 34,691 vans being registered in March 2010. These statistics are an indication of a growing confidence amongst businesses in all sectors. Having weathered the recession of the past two years, fleet managers could now be looking to upgrade or replace their company’s vehicles, taking advantage of the wider availability of finance deals which are now available.

Daves Vans, one of the UK's leading commercial vehicle retailers are just one of the dealers who have noted a surge in sales. The company, who have been trading since 2006, were recently cited as being the fastest-growing van supplier in the UK. Based in Farnham, Hampshire, they offer a wide range of new and used vans for sale in all sizes.

Dave's remit is to offer “top notch service coupled with top notch deals” and in this regard they strive to sell all of their vans at highly competitive prices. They also offer a range of finance packages, including lease hire, contract hire and hire purchase from leading lenders such as Black Horse finance and Santander. All vans purchased are supplied with the added peace of mind of a 12 month AA Warranty, which covers all parts and labour.
Spokesperson Gerard Thatcher commented on the recent rise in commercial vehicle sales by saying:

“We are beginning to see some signs of economic recovery, which means that many companies who rely on commercial vehicles are now investing in new vans. This has been helped by the increasing availability of finance deals, with many lenders now willing, once
again to offer credit for vehicle purchases.”
