Lombard Vehicle Management (LVM) has completed deliveries of a 40-vehicle fleet for Asbestos Consultants to the Environment (ACE), of Benfleet, Essex.

Unlike many SMEs with van fleets, ACE already leased rather than purchased its fleet. However, LVM was called in and identified the optimum vehicle size and capability for the application, sourcing Ford Transit Connects and Citroen Nemos.

In place of the previous wooden racking the new fleet was specified with OEM bulkheads and bespoke racking plus on-board power, fitted out through LVM’s Van Plus+ in-house build management service and fully complying with internal and external duty of care standards – vital for a business dealing with asbestos.

LVM is the sole supplier of the growing fleet and vehicles are being run on contract hire with full maintenance.
