Case Study: £1 million order completed for Doocey Group

In a contract worth over £1 million, CPD VanDemand sourced, converted and branded a fleet of 20 brand new Ford Transit L3 H3 Panel Vans for our long term, valued customer Doocey Group. 

Kevin Lyons, Fleet Director, Doocey Group said:

"CPD has been a trusted partner of ours for a long time, so when it came to a large order of 20 vehicles, they were the obvious choice. Their quality of work, attention to detail, and on-time delivery made the whole process seamless, and the finished vehicles are fantastic – exactly how we wanted them."

In this full-service solution, Doocey Group purchased the Ford Transit L3 H3 Panel Vans  directly from us, as we had them in stock and available for immediate delivery. Once the vans were sourced, they were brought to our 9-acre facility, where our in-house experts carried out a full conversion to meet their specific operational needs. We also added their branding to each van, ensuring the fleet reflects their company identity. With our extensive resources and experience, we were able to offer a seamless solution, combining both the supply of the vehicles and the necessary conversions. These vehicles were customised to enhance durability, efficiency, and safety, making them perfect for the demanding work environments Doocey Group operates in. Below is a breakdown of the key features and modifications we made to each van.
