Over the past financial year, Greens Decorating Contractors have invested in the addition of ten new vans to our ever-expanding fleet of commercial vehicles.

This significant investment has been made in order to make our fleet more environmentally efficient in a bid to reduce annual fuel costs by over a third.

Greens have purchased five new Fiat Doblo Cargo Maxi vehicles, which offer economy of over 60 mpg with class leading emissions. The vehicles, supplied by Northern Commercials, have been fitted with rear seat conversions to ensure that we are able to transport our operatives both cost effectively and safely.

Greens have also added five larger vehicles including Ford Transits and the new Vauxhall Movano. Three of the vehicles are fitted with crew cab conversions offering spacious site transport for six operatives. For larger contracts, this means that we are able reduce the number of vehicles required on site with obvious cost savings for you, the customer.

In our commitment to health and safety and the best working conditions for our operatives, Greens have also added a welfare vehicle to the fleet. Offering toilet facilities as well as a comfortable mess area with microwave, water boiler and wash facilities, this vehicle ensures that we can comply with all relevant legislation with minimal disruption to customers at the most competitive price.

Following the successful completion of work at Connaught Court, an RMBI care home in York, Greens were delighted to receive a letter of thanks from the Home Manager, reaffirming the commitment of our team to providing a first class service.

She writes, “As a very large care home we constantly have tradesmen coming and going, sometimes with a great deal of thoughtless disruption to our residents.

Alan and Dean on the other hand are a real credit to your business, they are firm favourites with both residents and staff, they have caused us such minimal disruption we hardly know they are there, they are unfailingly polite, cheerful and respectful to our residents and their work is of the highest standard.

We are all delighted with the service we have received from them and I felt I had to write to congratulate you for having two such excellent workers on your payroll and to thank you for a job very well done.

They are at present working within our Dementia care unit and again treating these very vulnerable people with respect and kindness, please convey our heartfelt thanks to them both and rest assured we will certainly be using Greens again if we can expect work of this standard.”
