Montgomery allocates the vans to its mobile engineers and technicians, who install and maintain storage and display units, including large fridges and freezers, at some of the UK’s biggest and best-known supermarkets. The company provides a range of services to its customers and often acts as main contractor for large installation projects.
‘Our vans carry spare parts, tools and equipment but we need different sized vehicles for varying functions,’ explained managing director Michael Montgomery. ‘Mercedes-Benz has always been our first choice as its vans are solid and dependable, well-liked by our engineers, and economical to operate. We’ve also been very well looked after by the dealer over the years.
‘The introduction of the smaller Citan was a very welcome development – it means we can now source all our vans from a single supplier in which we have complete trust, and makes our lives easier because we now have a single point of contact for all our fleet requirements.'
