The deal, which follows the recent announcement of Burnt Tree’s newly established contract hire division, consists of a range of vehicles including short wheel base Ford Transit and Vauxhall Vivaro panel vans.
In less than three years, Evolve, part of the Riverside social housing organisation, has switched its entire fleet of 160-plus commercial vehicles to contract hire with Burnt Tree, on a mix of three, four and five-year deals all with full maintenance, and this latest 100 vehicle order
Burnt Tree's contract hire Director Mark Howell said: ‘It's pleasing to see that our relationship with Evolve has developed smoothly, whilst also growing quickly, to the extent that Burnt Tree is now the key partner for all their commercial vehicle requirements. By working closely with Evolve, we have been able to provide them with a seamless transition from their incumbent supplier, whilst also tailoring the new vehicle specifications to suit their specific working needs.’
Evolve's managing director Neil O’Halloran said: ‘We needed vehicles quickly to fulfil our contractual obligations to our customers and Burnt Tree was able to provide us with the correct vehicles, at the right time, and in the right place. They even supplied us with a number of minibuses to take our drivers up to their branch in Wigan to collect vehicles.’
