The order has been placed to support RISG’s commercial and domestic maintenance and repairs team. It comprises 220 NV200s and 55 Primastars and will be delivered in stages over the next 30 months.
Each van will be kept for four years and all will be finished in RISG livery.
The new vans will be used by RISG field engineers operating an on-call maintenance service that responds to in excess of 60,000 calls a year.
George Robb, Richard Irvin Services Group procurement director, said: ‘We’re currently going through a period of investing in our people and capital and this deal marks an integral part of this strategy. We took a product rather than price led selection approach by making sure our drivers tested the vehicles first to ensure they were fit for purpose, and we’re happy the feedback so far from the drivers has been so positive.’
