The local communities in these cities will now have more options of vans to choose from.
 Portsmouth, Hampshire, United Kingdom, July 15, 2023 – Southern Van Hire, a van rental provider in the United Kingdom, has announced its expansion into three new cities of Blackwood, Swansea, and Stowmarket locations. This strategic move responds to residents’ and businesses’ demanding reliable van rental services in these areas.
According to the company’s founder, Peter Goodwin, expanding its services to new cities was a natural progression and part of its ambitious plan for the next few years. The company had been receiving increased local inquiries from residents and businesses in the three cities, which prompted them to move closer to their clients. Their team, led by its CEO, talked to several locals and entrepreneurs to assess their mobility needs. This helped them to design their offering and acquire vans that helped meet their expectations.
Speaking on occasion, Peter Goodwin said, “It fills my heart with great pride that after two decades in the industry, we are now able to expand to more cities with each passing year. This expansion will enable us to meet the rapidly increasing demand for dependable van rental services in these thriving locations. It will help us assess their needs faster so they get fulfilled optimally, and people get real value regarding van rentals. We did our due diligence to understand the local dynamics of the three cities. Places like Swansea have a bustling business scene and a growing digital economy. From delivery services to e-commerce businesses, people want more options for van rental services so they don’t have to overpay high rates anymore. Southern Van Hire’s expansion to places like Stowmarket shows our commitment to providing comprehensive van rental services in the UK’s urban and rural areas. It will uplift people in the community and contribute massively to the economy.”
As part of the expansion, the van rental company has recently invested in a fleet of new vans. It will ensure their clients always have vehicles when needed, even during peak season. The comprehensive fleet of vans has been procured from renowned manufacturers for millions of pounds, showing their commitment to the new regions. Each van has modern features that make it comfortable for passengers while ensuring safe mobility. The vans in their garage include small, medium, and large vans, Trucks, Tippers, Lutons, and Minibuses.
Peter explained their decision to expand, “Businesses simply don’t have thousands of pounds to invest in acquiring a new fleet of vehicles. Banks charge extremely high-interest rates, making these vehicles out of reach of most startups and small-time businesses. This is why more entrepreneurs are turning towards vehicle rental services. Moreover, there is a growing trend for van rentals because people don’t want to have the burden of ownership or go through the hassle of maintaining them. Neither do they want to deal with insurance agencies. By working with us, clients can access their desired vehicles without going through much paperwork. This allows them to focus on their core competency instead of worrying about logistics. The decision to expand into Blackwood, Swansea, and Stowmarket was also driven by growth in tourism in the area. Before us, tourists had fewer van rental options which pushed the cost of mobility significantly higher. They will now have more choices and get more value for less.”
With the addition of Blackwood, Swansea, and Stowmarket to its portfolio of locations, Southern Van Hire now operates from a more significant network of locations, making its van rental services easily accessible to customers across the United Kingdom. With proximity to more small cities, these places are expected to become a strategic hub to cater to the transportation needs of businesses and residents in close by regions.
Peter added, “The new vehicles will ensure people can access their desired car even at short notice. We also give unrestricted mileage at affordable prices to facilitate clients across the continent. Our low prices make us perfect for businesses on a tight budget. Entrepreneurs we work with don’t have to worry about high costs, which can make them go overboard on their budgets. Our long-term contracts ensure businesses don’t waste money overpaying for van rentals. By establishing a presence in Swansea, Southern Van Hire aims to support local businesses’ daily operations while providing reliable van rental options for individuals planning home relocations, renovations, or outdoor activities in the stunning countryside.”
In addition to expanding its fleet and entering new cities, it will invest in building a team at the new locations. They will recruit new employees from the local community to help run the operations.
He went on to add, “We are excited about the future of our company and look forward to serving even more clients in the years to come. As a UK-based company, we are passionate about helping local businesses to succeed. We understand that the economy has been challenging, and we want to help as many people as possible. This starts by giving employment to dozens of people and helping them grow in our company. We are very optimistic about this move and expect a bright future.”
