Even if a company has a regular carrier for its business goods, or even their company vehicle, there are often times when another solution is needed. Van Hire is obviously an option for additional or one-off delivery needs but this requires use of existing staff who may well already have work schedules to follow, or who may not have the requisite licences or experience for driving such a vehicle. One option to think about is a Van and a Man Hire is your business locality. A checklist for considering such an option would probably include
- Need for moving goods not serviced by existing carrier-such as moving business equipment when moving offices
- Need for a one-off move of goods or equipment for waste recycling or disposal
- Need for transporting one-off second hand furniture or business equipment purchases where the seller is not offering delivery
- Any or all of the above needs where there is no-one in the company trained or able to undertake manual handling available even if company transport is available
- As the charges are usually by the hour then if a local Van with a man this can cost considerably less than other providers of the same service
- Unlike Van hire where you provide the driver there is no need for collection or delivery of the vehicle so saving considerable amount of staff time
