GATESHEAD-based Wares Security Group took advantage of Vauxhall Master Hire's fast-track contract hire service to keep staff mobile immediately after the company was rescued from the receiver. The company's new management placed an order with the Vauxhall Business Centre at Bristol Street Newcastle for 33 Astras, Vectras, Omegas and Vauxhall vans on full service contract hire in a deal worth more than £500,000.

The dealership also provided alternative transport for drivers while it fulfilled the order. Last year Vauxhall Master Hire launched a special underwriting procedure to speed up delivery of contract hire cars to new businesses.
