Berkshire's Leading Used Vans Company Has Most Successful Month Since Opening Despite Credit Crunch

May 22, 2009 - PRLog -- Padworth UK, Anchor Vans - one of the leading vendors of used vans in the UK announces sales figures that demonstrate the best month of sales since the company began trading over twenty years ago. In March, 155 used commercial vehicles were sold, breaking all company records, despite the adverse retail conditions caused by the credit crunch.

"It's a great morale booster for all of us," commented Simon Joyce, Sales Director for Anchor Vans. "Selling 155 used vans and commercial vehicles in one month is no small thing, especially considering how tough the current climate is for many businesses. I hope the release of these figures serve as proof that if a company is doing the right thing, they can not only survive, but thrive in a recession."

The remarkable sales figures certainly buck the trend of depleting sales across the vehicle industry. When asked how Anchor Vans has achieved such impressive results, Simon replied; "We've worked incredibly hard, don't get me wrong! But it comes down to the simple fact that we do everything we possibly can for our used van customers. That's not just exceptional customer service, I'm also talking about the fantastic quality and prices of the used vans. We've continued with the online marketing, and there's the money back guarantee and free delivery within 150 miles of course, but fundamentally, we wouldn't get so much repeat custom, and referrals if we didn't provide the best value used vans and customer service that bring people back again and again. The recession is making people look for value, on that front I think the March figures speak for themselves."
