How we work

From brief to keys, all under one roof.

Every build, big or small, follows the same four steps — start to finish in our Cardiff workshop.

  1. 01

    Brief

    Call, email or come visit. We talk through your fleet, payload, body type and how you'll use the van — then turn it into a written spec.

  2. 02

    Quote & finance

    You get a fixed-price quote with buy / HP / contract-hire / lease options side by side. No mystery fees, no pressure.

  3. 03

    Build

    Chassis sourced direct from manufacturer. Body fabricated, fitted, painted and electrified in-house — to VCA type-approval standards.

  4. 04

    Handover

    We drive it to you, walk you through every system, and stay on the phone for the warranty period — and beyond, usually.
