County Contractors Celebrates 35th Anniversary With Arrival Of New Renault Fleet Vehicles

PARIS – Sept 21, 2011: Fourteen brand new Renault cars and vans have just taken to the road with South West firm County Contractors. The Weston-super-Mare-based company, which runs a seventy-strong vehicle fleet, is currently celebrating its 35th anniversary and has treated itself to 14 new models as part of the first phase of a replacement programme for the remaining thirty commercial vehicles over the next eighteen months.

County Contractors undertake the refurbishment of commercial businesses, specialising in leisure and hotels, retail and local authority sectors. Since the company’s inception in 1976, they have continued to grow and currently achieve an annual turnover in excess of £25 million.

Continued success and a healthy order book has enabled them to invest in phase one of the upgrade of their existing commercial fleet, taking delivery of nine Master Vans, three Kangoo Vans and two Kangoo cars from S J Cook & Sons on Locking Road, Weston-super-Mare with an all new distinctive County Contractors’ livery.

Mark Roberts, Sales Executive at S J Cook & Sons, who recently handed over the 14 keys, said, “It’s always a pleasure to see a local firm celebrating so many years of success, and we’re thrilled to supply a Weston-super-Mare business with its fleet requirements. The Renault van range is number one in Europe and part of its strength is its variety. County Contractors has selected vehicles of all sizes to form a reliable fleet to suit their staff and their specialist equipment.”

Kevin Lee, Director at County Contractors, said: “Our decision to go for Renaults was based on the excellent value for money, high level of standard specification including Bluetooth and satellite navigation that we hope will prove invaluable to our employees who travel the length and breadth of the country. Combine this with the technical advances made by Renault resulting in good fuel economy and lower road tax due to the Euro 5 status achieved by the Master van, made our choice of manufacturer a relatively simple decision.

“We also strive to deal with local businesses such as SJ Cook and Sons who offer a more personal service and have a like-minded approach to negotiations.”
