Sherwoods and RI Commercials, Chris Shaw is now used vehicles sales executive a Iveco Ford dealership North East Van & Truck's site at Blador Newcastle upon Tyne.
Iveco Daily and Ford Transit light commercials and 17 and 26-tonne rigids with tipper bodies and grabs are the most popular sellers at his site, he says, though demand for 7.5-tonners is quiet at present. There's little enthusiasm for anything that isn't N-registered or later, and customers are expressing growing interest in contract hire with maintenance and a comprehensive warranty. "They're prepared to look at a shabby truck with a good guarantee, and that wasn't the case a few years ago," Shaw reports.
