Formerly known as The Landscape Centre, Out There has recently rebranded and is updating its 70-strong vehicle fleet, which are currently used to cover various grounds maintenance and landscape contracts all across Northern Ireland as well as London under the firm’s latest deal.
VW secured the contract based on the Crafter’s load capacity, build quality, residual values and aftersales support. The first batch of 13 Volkswagen Crafter vans have been supplied, with the remaining vehicles to be supplied over the next 18 months as part of the firm’s ongoing fleet replacement programme.
All panel vans have been fully ply-lined, feature bulkhead protection and are fitted with a heavy duty towbar. In addition, a number of the vehicles have been converted to accommodate further crew members with a second row of seats installed and glazed side windows fitted.
Steven Thompson, managing director at Out There, said: “This is an exciting time for everyone at Out There and it’s great to finally unveil the new brand and fleet to everyone. We have around 70 new vehicles that are going to be renewed over the next 18 months, and we are pleased to have partnered up with Donnelly Commercial Vehicles for this first phase.
“Importantly, they have been able to offer a very high quality fit out of the vans to meet our specific requirements through their TBC wing, and the quality of the finished products speaks for itself. We cannot speak highly enough of the team at Donnellys and we hope to be able continue to work with them over the coming years.”
