JB Kind’s Renault Fleet Delivers Goods With A Message
JB Kind, the Derbyshire based independent high quality door distributor, has taken delivery of three new Renault Midlum 220.14 trucks with Hatcher semi sky cabs; one Renault Midlum 7.5 tonne truck and a Renault Premium 280.18. The vehicles, in service to make deliveries from the the company’s three depots in Swadlincote, Leeds and Bristol, to a number of nationwide merchant and retail locations, will do so in a striking livery to promote JB Kind’s link with the RSPB on a project to save hundreds of endangered species in Indonesia’s South Sumatran ‘Harapan’ Rainforest.
The trucks are replacement vehicles on a 13-strong mixed fleet, nine of which are now Renaults less than 18 months old and were supplied through Renault Trucks distributor, Allports Trucks.
Ryan Farmer, Transport Coordinator, JB Kind Doors, comments on the company’s decision to move towards a predominantly Renault fleet: “We did look at every other major manufacturer available in the UK market. However, we chose Renault trucks as they offered greater value for money. The initial purchase price, linked with the cost of ownership and class leading fuel efficiency, clinched the deal.”
This recent vehicle acquisition has increased product offering across mainstream as well as premium doors, doubled the number of employees and improved the distribution network. JB Kind’s link with the RSPB involves significant monetary donations, as well as raising awareness of the plight of the wildlife and indigenous people of Indonesia.
