Vauxhall Commercial Vehicles has supplied Amey with 110 1.3-litre CDTi Astravans on a five-year, 100,000-mile contract.

The vans are fully liveried, ply-lined, with ladder racks and hazard beacons fitted.

Nicky Simpson, Amey service director said: “We set them a very demanding task to deliver at least 60 vehicles by May 1.

"It was a Herculean task and one to which they responded magnificently.”

A further 49 Astravans will be delivered during May and June.
