Helping Craig & Derricott to keep stock moving

April 7th, 2010

Established in 1944 Craig and Derricott is a British manufacturer of control gear products with a reputation for engineering expertise, customer service and well proven products.   The company designs and manufactures electrical switchgear, control gear and a range of switch based products that are supplied to a variety of industries including; transport, medical and the Ministry of Defence.

Craig & Derricott runs a small fleet of vans used predominately to deliver stock to suppliers.  With the growing demand from suppliers Craig & Derricott found themselves in need of an additional, inexpensive, reliable van that could be used on a daily basis when suppliers request urgent stock deliveries.

Low Cost Leases supplied a 2007 Citroen Berlingo 1.6HDi with just 30,000 miles on the clock to Craig & Derricott, complete with livery.  Commenting on their Low Cost Leases van, Eric Neal, Marketing Manager at Craig & Derricott:

“We are delighted with the van supplied by Low Cost Leases.  We are now benefiting from a pre-owned van in excellent condition and with a number of added benefits.  Importantly, the pricing is very competitive and the contract has built in flexibility enabling us to manage the cost easily.   The initial lease period is just 12 months which suits the business well.  At the end of the 12 months we can choose to keep the existing van on a rolling monthly contract or simply hand the keys back.

The great news for Craig & Derricott is that by leasing our van we can benefit from tax efficiency on our payments.  Furthermore we don’t have to worry about it depreciating in value which would be a cost to our business.  We wouldn’t hesitate in leasing another van from Low Cost Leases, when business growth demands it!”

Our vans are suitable for anyone requiring the use of a low cost van in excellent, pre-owned condition or a brand new van. Our vehicles are ideal if you’re a tradesperson such as a plumber, decorator or electrician, working in a business that requires you to transport tools, equipment or goods or simply requiring a van for personal use.

Low Cost Leases vans are ideal if you need a reliable, pre-owned or new van that will last you for years to come. Because you lease our vans, unlike a traditional credit agreement or loan, you don’t have to apply for credit approval or incur expensive interest charges, instead you simply pay us for renting our vehicle.
