Anglian has opted for the Vauxhall Vivaro

The UK’s leading home improvements firm, Anglian, has just taken on a fleet of 29 Vauxhall Vivaro vans.

The British-built Vivaro fleet will now enable the company to increase its whole life operating costs and reduce its fuel consumption figure.

The engineers who work for Anglian Home Improvements rack-up an average of 30,000 miles every year doing their jobs and a van they can rely on.

The Vauxhall Vivaro fleet consists of the firm’s 2900 L1H1 spec and have been fitted with the 1.6CDTi engine which produces 90 PS and has start/stop to boost economy.

Anglian’s fleet manager, Michael Shepherd, said the Vivaro’s fuel economy was the initial attraction for opting to buy a van.

“Keeping our employees happy is important to us so we are pleased with the comments.”
