East Anglia-based housing association Flagship Housing Group has signed a deal for 15 of the mid-specification Isuzu D-Max Eiger pick-ups after a competitive pitch against major rivals.
Flagship Housing Group’s fleet of pick-ups – all liveried in its signature Bottle Green colour – will be delivered by Norwich-based dealer, Dingles Isuzu, fully-fitted with load-bed liners, a hardtop canopy and rooftop ladder carrier. The new fleet will be used to manage the maintenance of Flagship Housing Group’s 22,000 homes across the east.
Isuzu UK will also deliver a fleet of Isuzu D-Max pick-ups to civil engineering specialists Jones Brothers. The Welsh firm has so far ordered 15 units from the Isuzu D-Max Premium range – including Eiger, Yukon and Utah models – to service projects across the north of Wales.
William Brown, general manager at Isuzu UK, commented: ‘The expansion of our business-focused sales activities is already paying dividends. These two fleet deals say a lot about our brand – not just because they build on our strong core of retail sales we have secured so far in 2013 – but also because they demonstrate the breadth of the D-Max’s appeal to businesses operating across diverse disciplines.’
The latest deals follow the appointment in April 2013 of Gary Scott to the newly created role of national fleet manager.
