Independent used car and van retailer Motorpoint has sold 40 Ford Transit Custom vans to building firm M&J Evans Construction.

It’s the dealer’s largest ever commercial fleet vehicle sale, with the potential to supply more vehicles in future.

Due to unprecedented demand, M J Evans Construction required 40 additional vehicles for field-based ground staff working on construction sites across the Midlands, North West and Yorkshire.

The company turned to the online team at Motorpoint for help with meeting their specific requirements.

Alison Stubbs, assistant plant and transport manager at M&J Evans Plant, said: “I was looking for one supplier that could provide all of the vehicles on time and on budget, rather than having to go through multiple suppliers, which would have been the only other option.

“I knew of Motorpoint and went online and found they had exactly the product we required. We arranged to go to one of the branches to view the vehicles and once we were happy it was just a case of organising delivery.”

The vehicles have all been livered and are already out in the field with the company’s groundworkers.

Jon Baird, chief commercial officer at Motorpoint, said: “Motorpoint has been providing companies of all sizes with light commercial vehicles for many years but never in this quantity.”

Motorpoint, which was recently named one of the best companies to work for in the UK for a seventh consecutive year, stocks a range of nearly new, low mileage light commercial vehicles.

Every vehicle from Motorpoint comes with the balance of manufacturer’s warranty backed by the Motorpoint Price Promise. This means Motorpoint will refund the difference to any customer within seven days of their order if they find the same car cheaper from a competitor. As a bonus, it will also give the customer £50 worth of Amazon vouchers to spend.
