Magic number seven for Blakedale and Chevron

By Ignition CBS Ltd

15 Apr 2016

Lancashire-based self-drive hire specialist, Blakedale has strengthened its successful relationship with leading national traffic management business Chevron by delivering seven new impact protection vehicles to its long-standing customer of seven years.

Chevron first teamed up with Blakedale seven years ago hiring a few trucks and welfare units where necessary. Today they have a number of vehicles on hire from the company, ranging from bespoke 3.5 tonne traffic management vehicles to brand new state-of-the-art impact protection vehicles.

Sales director at Blakedale, Dave Staiano, said: “Recently we have developed a more collaborative relationship with Chevron so we have a comprehensive understanding of what they need from the vehicles. They have vast, first hand experience of operating traffic management vehicles in the high pressure and often, hazardous road network environment.

Mark added: “We have built up a really successful working relationship and we know we can always rely on the team at Blakedale for support, they are a very customer focussed business.

Over the last 24 months, Blakedale has invested over £2m in upgrading its fleet to ensure loyal hire customers like Chevron continue to benefit from the latest and most reliable vehicles that help make their jobs of maintaining the UK's roads easier and safer.
