We now have our own EasiVan!

Wednesday, January 9th, 2013

The EasiVanWe are very pleased to announce that we have taken delivery of our first van. Over the last year we’ve been saving the pennies to put towards this much needed asset to our company, and we’ve finally got there. The van will be used mainly by our network installations team (Dave!), but will also be used for deliveries and collections where necessary.

 

We absolutely love the design on the van. This was based on some great design work that Chris Dyer is doing for us, and the sign writing was done by our good friends at Abbott Signs. Keep your eyes peeled for it around the roads of Northamptonshire!
