I was speaking to a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago who runs her own Newsagents business. She has owned the business for a few years now and works some very unsociable hours.

She was saying that even though she loves being in the shop, her working day does not end when she closes for the day. She has to replace her stock daily by visiting the local Cash and Carry.

I asked her why she has to go daily, and she explained that as she does not own a van she is having to use her car for the stock run and obviously her car just is not built to carry much stock.

This set me thinking if somehow I might be able to help ease her workload a little. I decided that probably the best thing for her business would be to get hold of a van. Ultimately this would cut back the amount of times she had to visit the Cash and Carry. However, I know her budget is very tight at the moment and she therefore cannot afford to purchase a new van. Bearing this in mind, I thought it would be beneficial to carry out a bit of investigative work into the possible merits of Van Contract Hire.

I was very happy with the information I collated and at the present time, I feel this would be the ideal solution to her transport requirements. Bearing this in mind, I have suggested that she should take a look at Ford Transit Leasing as a workable option to using her private car.

I was also thinking about other ways we could improve her business and remembered that at the back of her shop she had an unused fridge, which could be fully utilised. I told her it might be worth thinking about Refrigerated Van Leasing when looking at a van for her business.

I think whichever van she does decide to lease; it can only benefit her business.
