Essex company in key business deal

An Essex-based business has been boosted after securing a significant deal with a national company.

Community Building Services (CBS) Limited, which is a national repairs and maintenance provider for the social housing sector, has instructed Volkswagen Van Centre Chelmsford to provide it with a 71-strong fleet of efficient and economical Volkswagen Transporter and Crafter BlueMotion vans.

CBS will use the new van fleet to support almost 140 engineers to provide maintenance and repairs for approximately 24,000 homes.

In addition to providing repairs and maintenance services, CBS also maintains 17 children’s homes across Hertfordshire.

Colin Gallaugher, commercial director for CBS, said: “We wanted to acquire a fleet with an outstanding all-around performance, great residual values, but above all excellent fuel economy.

“The Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ BlueMotion range meets those needs and stands out as an excellent investment.

“Our aim is to provide a quality service to our clients and their residents, so it’s vital that we have a fleet of vehicles which can meet the high standards of reliability to enable us to provide our services.”

Chris Bunce, head of business at Volkswagen Van Centre Chelmsford, said: “The Volkswagen BlueMotion range provides commercial vehicle operators of all sizes, the potential to reduce fuel and running costs, thus saving money.

“CBS will now benefit from drivers spending less time in fuel stations and more time providing customers with a service.

“This is obviously a great deal for Volkswagen Van Centre Chelmsford and is testament to the hard work of our fleet sales executive, Graham Marfleet.”
