SCUFFS Vehicle Refurbishment has chosen VELO to supply its new fleet of 200 vehicles on contract hire in a deal worth more than £2million. The Bristol-based vehicle repair and refurbishment company has chosen a solus Ford fleet for its growing nationwide chain of outlets, which will reach 96 by the end of 2002.

Each of Scuff's SMART (small to medium area repair techniques) outlets will be provided with a Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec for the business manager, and a Ford Ka to take customers to their place of work or home while their vehicles are being repaired.

The three-year contract will include full maintenance. And the first 14 vehicles have already been delivered with another 100 due over the next 12 months.
