Operators can use Vanaways’ simple ordering system with CoolKit’s online configurator for insulated body options, creating their perfect refrigerated van while streamlining the process.

The tie-up will offer access to vans of all makes, typically sourced direct from manufacturers and fitted with insulated bodywork and refrigeration units at CoolKit’s manufacturing plant in Burnley, Lancashire.

“The partnership is yet another extension of our service to busy van operators,” said Vanaways sales director Paul Cox. “By working in partnership with CoolKit we aim to make the acquisition process for these specialist vehicles as quick and easy as possible, while ensuring that conversion work is carried out to a guaranteed high standard.

“Our two companies share a very strong customer service ethos and we’re determined to show our customers that the best way to get a first-class chilled van on the road fast, is to order through Vanaways and CoolKit.”

CoolKit-converted vehicles will be offered to SMEs through Vanaways’ retail sales division, which trades as Van Sales UK, as well as to larger fleet customers via its Business Development Team.

CoolKit chief executive Rupert Gatty added: “Like Vanaways we pride ourselves on being an innovative, dynamic business. We’re both fully focused on quality, customer care and making the purchasing process as easy it can be. Our recently launched online configurator is a perfect example of this ground-breaking approach.”
