Ford Transit and Transit Connect vans have been selected by Greenshields JCB, which specialises in the distribution, service and repair of JCB and Thwaites dumper vehicles.

Seven short-wheel-base Ford Transit and four Ford Transit Connect vans have been delivered already and a further 17 medium-wheel-base and long-wheel-base, high roof Transits are due for delivery by the end of October.

In total, 32 new Ford vans have been ordered, adding to the existing fleet of 15 Ford vehicles previously purchased by the company.

All vehicles have been supplied to Greenshields from Guildford-based Ford commercial vehicle dealer, Grays Truck & Van. 

 The high-spec Transits are all fully sign-written, fitted-out and ready for the road.

Tom Greenshields, aftermarket director for Greenshields JCB, said: “When we make comparisons with other brands we look for the products that are fit for purpose and the most reliable.

“There is also good parts availability and service support should the need arise.”
