Based at 6 locations across Britain, these 62 TIP trailers all went into service at the end of 2007 and as Tony Whitehouse, Fleet Engineer at Ventura Network Distribution said, “We have had considerable experience of working with TIP for many years and their overall service is excellent. The whole package that you get with TIP, in terms of value added nationwide support, breakdown and on-site service, convinced us to use them for this new business venture.”
The Ventura Network Distribution trailer fleet has been acquired on a 10-year contract basis with full TIP FleetCare support.
“With such a large fleet it is essential that our trailer supplier maintains good communication with us and keeps us regularly up to speed with the overall performance of the fleet. TIP has a proven track record with their ongoing performance review indicators, which is all part of the value added service that we receive from them,” added Tony Whitehouse.
“This long term contract for 62 trailers was secured on the basis of the range of services provided by TIP. Whilst price is always important in any deal, Ventura Network Distribution made it clear to us that the value added services we offer were a key differentiating factor in them deciding to use TIP as the exclusive supplier for this deal. It has proved to us once more that, as a leading supplier in today’s competitive trailer market, the provision of effective, proactive customer service is now such a vital ingredient when company’s look at the acquisition of new trailers for their business,” said John Murray, Managing Director UK & Ireland, TIP Trailer Services.
