Harding Logistics Ltd is a family-run furniture distribution business operating across the south of England.
The Challenge
To optimise the fleet around seasonal demand across a range of locations, whilst minimising downtime and maintaining a professional brand image.
The Solution
A Flexible Hire solution allowed Harding’s to right-size their fleet to meet fluctuating demand. Knights Van Hires network was utilised to manage vehicles locally in peak and off-peak times.
Van specific types were sourced to create a consistent and professional brand presence.
Knights Van Hire enables Harding Logistics Ltd to maintain its no-cost vehicle maintenance by providing no downtime with hassle-free onsite servicing. I am particularly happy with constant new vehicle replacements to ensure the fleet stays younger and greener.
