REFRIGERATED van supplier Cold Chain Vehicle Solutions has supplied 18 vehicles to pharmaceutical distributor Polar Speed Thermologistics.

The contract is the largest single deal for the company which was launched earlier this year alongside sister company Car & Commercial Vehicle Solutions.

Paul Mckay, managing director of Cold Chain Vehicle Solutions, said: 'Changes in legislation means medical supplies, traditionally transported by courier, must now be moved 'in the cold chain' by refrigerated vehicle. With only a couple of refrigerated vehicle specialists plus a handful of regional players in the UK, I aim to become an established operator in this sector.'
