Nick Higgins, Chief Operating Officer at AFI said: "When looking to expand our self-drive van fleet our main considerations were safety, reliability, performance and after sales support. We turned to the expertise & knowledge of Andy and the Versalift team who took our brief and delivered a package achieving all of our aims. We look forward to receiving the first units in Q4 and have several lined up for long term hire customers already."
