The new vehicles are being used by Cardiff City FC Foundation to visit hundreds of schools and other community venues throughout South Wales. The Foundation is a registered charity aligned with, but independent of, Cardiff City FC. It employs a team of more than 30 qualified coaches who deliver multi-sport activities and educational programmes with the aim of improving people’s lives, irrespective of their age, ability or gender.
Acquired with the help of a sponsorship contribution from Dealer Euro Commercials, the vans are all Citan 109 CDI long models.
Head of business development Ryan Jones said: “The Citan is impressively well appointed, comfortable and easy to drive, as well as being perfectly sized to carry the balls and other equipment used by coaches to deliver our programmes.”
Powered by 90hp engines, the Foundation’s new vans are the subject of a CharterWay contract hire agreement from Mercedes-Benz Financial Services and will be maintained in the supplying Dealer’s workshop on Ipswich Road, Cardiff.
Ryan Jones added: “We are grateful for Euro Commercials’ generous involvement in providing our delivery staff with an essential means of transport. 2015/16 is set to be a very busy year for all of us, with the Foundation set to have a positive impact on more people than ever before.”
