Background: About The Kelleher Group
The Kelleher Group Maintenance specialises in providing mechanical and electrical services, with a strong focus on delivering efficient solutions in mechanical, electrical, and specialist building works. The company works closely with housing associations throughout London, ensuring meticulous planning and strong partnerships with their clients.
As a growing business, having a reliable fleet of vans is essential to their daily operations.
The Challenge: Overcoming Barriers To Asset Acquisition
As a new business, the Kelleher Group faced challenges in securing assets on credit, making it difficult to purchase a fleet of vans outright. Reliable transportation was essential for their engineers to travel between jobs and carry materials, yet traditional financing options were not easily accessible. They needed a flexible, cost-effective solution that would enable them to expand their fleet without the financial strain of ownership.
The Solution: Choosing Long-Term Van Hire with Pace
After researching various options, the Kelleher Group opted for long-term van hire with Pace Van Hire due to the convenience, flexibility, and competitive pricing. Over a period of roughly seven months, they hired a total of six vans, consisting mainly of medium-wheelbase models with some short-wheelbase vans.
Key reasons for choosing Pace included:
- Competitive pricing
- Convenient branch locations
- Excellent customer service, particularly from our Pace contact Troi, who provided dedicated support
The Benefits: Increased Efficiency and Business Growth
Long-term van hire has been instrumental in supporting the Kelleher Group’s business operations. The key benefits they experienced include:
- Operational continuity: The ability to maintain a reliable fleet ensured that engineers could travel between jobs seamlessly, keeping projects on schedule.
- Business growth: Without access to vans, the company wouldn’t have been able to carry out its work effectively. The flexibility of long-term hire allowed them to scale their operations efficiently.
- Reliability and flexibility: When a van breakdown occurred due to a tyre issue (not Pace’s fault), it was resolved swiftly by Pace’s out-of-hours breakdown team, minimising disruptions.
- Smooth contract adjustments: The company frequently extended and off-hired vans based on project demand, finding the process smooth and hassle-free.
- High vehicle standards: The vans provided were in excellent condition, and any servicing or maintenance needs were addressed promptly by Pace.
