The growth has been credited to 360 van conversion sales to AAH Pharmaceuticals, Iceland Foods, Marks & Spencer, Lex Autolease and Vanarama, consequently increasing growth by 11% over 2016, increasing revenues for the company to more than £12m.

During 2017, CoolKit secured accreditations from manufacturers including Toyota, Renault Trucks, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Ford.

Rupert Gatty, managing director of CoolKit, said: “Our first fleet order for new ultra-light ibox bodywork provided the user with the benefit of a demonstrable 1,200kg usable payload – a new industry benchmark.”
