The first seven VWs to join the firm’s fleet will deliver more than £4m worth of bathroom suites a month to customers anywhere in Britain outside London and the South East.

The seven LTs - four long wheelbase high-roof panel vans and three with Luton bodies replace other vans and are on full VW contract hire arranged through the Hartshorne Group.

The deal spans three years at 70,000km a year for each van. All the new vans have 2.8 litre, 158 bhp engines. More orders are expected from Bathstore.com as sales from the company's website continue to rise.
