Callan Connect has agreed a vehicle leasing deal with Lex Autolease to support its regional growth plans, firstly by securing the lease of four highly-customised Ford Transit dropside vans to support its growing business with large organisations across the Midlands.

The vehicles have been heavily modified by Lex Autolease to enable them to carry a wide range of groundworks equipment, including mini-diggers and drilling machinery.

Callan Connect is targeting 40 per cent year-on-year growth, and the new vans provide reliability and cost savings to support its planned expansion, which includes new equipment investment.

The deal forms part of a wider package of support, including funding from Lex Autolease’s parent company Lloyds Bank.

Transport manager at Callan Connect, Greg Callan, said;

“Vehicles are critical to our business, and to avoid costly downtime we need reliable vans to successfully deliver the extensive contract pipeline we have in place.

“As a local, family-run business we must continue to punch above our weight in a hotly contested market containing some large, national players, and the new vehicles will help deliver the high service standards our clients have come to expect.”

Area manager at Lex Autolease, Emma Atkinson, said;

“By opting to lease new vans, Callan Connect have made significant savings on the customisation and will profit from running more economical vehicles and a reduced risk of unplanned maintenance. The new arrangement makes sense financially, which helps put the business in a strong position to focus on its expansion plans.”

Relationship manager at Lloyds Banking Group, Luke Blount, said;

“The business is primed for further growth, and we look forward to continuing our relationship as the firm continues its impressive progress. We’re seeing an increasing number of growth-orientated firms like Callan Connect lease for a variety of reasons, one of which is to access the reliability needed to keep vehicles on the road.”
