NATIONAL charity Sue Ryder Care has appointed Volkswagen Group Leasing to supply, fund and maintain its fleet of commercial vehicles.

The vans are used to collect donated goods to sell in its chain of shops nationwide.

The charity has replaced its previous fleet of vehicles with 25 Volkswagen LT 35 vans, as well as 10 Caddy vans. The vans will be supplied on five-year contract hire deal at 24,000 miles per year with full maintenance.
