The business, based between High Wycombe and Beaconsfield, has customers all across southern England and stretching up to the Midlands and needed an extra van due to increased business.
Stuart Thorn, an expert in theatre carpentry who now runs Vowed & Amazed with his wife Caroline Breen Thorn, said that he looked at running an LPG van after hearing that it typically costs 40% less to fill up at the pump compared to petrol.
He explained: ‘I do most of the driving for the business, so having a van that drives the same as the equivalent petrol or diesel version was very important, especially when I typically cover 14,000 miles a year for work.
‘Our LPG-converted Transit is just the job and you can’t notice any difference in performance when it switches from petrol to autogas LPG. However, the big difference you do notice is when you visit the forecourt and fill up thanks to it being so much cheaper,’ explained Thorn.
Being able to keep running costs down also means they can pass on the savings to their various clients.
Paul Oxford, business development manager, Autogas Limited, said: ‘Whether you’re a car driving private motorist, small to medium size business with a van, or even a larger concern, then autogas LPG offers significant savings at the forecourt.
‘The added bonus is that it’s much cleaner than either petrol or diesel, producing less CO2 emissions, fewer oxides of nitrogen and also less small particle emissions than diesel.’
