UTILITIES provider McNicholas has awarded a 150-strong fleet deal to Newton Vehicle Rentals following an evaluation of its fleet.

The deal will see Newtown supply 150 Volkswagen LT35 2.5-litre diesel vans on a long-term contract hire basis which will be used for McNicholas' British Gas Transco and Severn Trent contracts.

McNicholas director Ian Gay said: 'Having already experienced the high level of service and reliability offered by both these companies, we decided to award them a preferred supplier contract. The package was spot on in terms of price and quality of the product and from past experience we knew we could rely on Newtown totally when it comes to onsite back up.'
