after a year in business and some hard saving i've finally got my 1st van. its an ex-british gas renault kangoo 1.5 diesel its a 2002 plate and done 51,000miles. i paied just £2500 for it, which where i live is a bargen to say the least! every thing else i saw in my price range were x/y reg with 100,000miles plus

i get some signwriting from ebay cost me £75 and took about an hour to put it on my self and bobs your uncle fannys your aunt.

what dose every one think?

ive had the signwriting on it just one week and ive already picked up 4 jobs, 2x gutter cleans at £110 each and two regula w/c jobs at £16 + £12 from the van alone. so theres the proof that a sign writen van DOSE bring in new work.

Well done Dean! off to a flying start! 

Looks good - I like the yellow on the blue

[kris martin]

[Joe Lauzon]

Your van looks the business dude.

I had a nicely sign written van for years, and got bugger all work from it.  I had been working my patches for years before that with a car though, so probably got all I was going to get by people seeing me about.

I like the van mate, its not all about getting customers its also looking pro on peoples property, i feel a lot more relaxed with my sign written van on someones drive when im hopping over there fence.

[groundhog]

Remember Dean that you don't have to spend a fortune to get a wfp system, mine cost me about £500, and that includes the ro! and it does exactly the same job as a megabucks Ionics system!! Good luck mate!!
