The £3.5m turnover firm is leasing four new, highly customised Ford Transit dropside vans to support its growing pipeline of new contracts with large blue-chip organisations across the Midlands.
The new vehicles, leased on a three-year contract-hire agreement, have been heavily modified by Lex Autolease to carry a wide range of groundworks equipment, from mini-diggers to drilling machinery.
The family-owned company, which is targeting 40% year-on-year growth, said the vans provide the reliability and cost savings needed to support the planned expansion, which includes investment in new equipment.
The deal is part of a wider package of support, including funding from Lex Autolease’s parent company Lloyds Bank to support the firm’s extensive growth plans.
Greg Callan, transport manager at Callan Connect, commented: “Vehicles are critical to our business, and to avoid costly downtime we need reliable vans to successfully deliver the extensive contract pipeline we have in place.
“As a local, family-run business we must continue to punch above our weight in a hotly contested market containing some large, national players, and the new vehicles will help deliver the high service standards our clients have come to expect.”
