This month we have experienced a sharp rise in the numbers of vans being booked despite having added four new ones to our fleet.

Yes, we have four new long wheelbase Maxus vans.

The two main drivers are the usual added demand for vans from the various parcel delivery companies and this year the Cop26 climate change event in Glasgow has added to the pressure.

Police forces, including Essex, have been asked to supply officers for the event and we have so far reserved 15 people carriers for them.

So, if you are expecting to need a van in the next couple of months please be aware that we will need at least a week’s warning.

In the meantime to let you know we are still using all the Covid safety measures that we have put in place in the office.
