TrustFord mobilises to aid essential workers

TrustFord has announced additional initiatives to further support NHS staff, other key workers and essential fleets during the coronavirus crisis.

The company’s mobile servicing vehicles, normally used to support large fleet needs, have been switched to supporting NHS, frontline and essential workers struggling to reach their local site.

Already servicing key worker vehicles across their network in England and Northern Ireland, the company’s fleet of mobile vans can now reach essential front-line and individual needs from their hubs in Kent, Dagenham, Heathrow, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Yorkshire and Northern Ireland.

It is anticipated the vans will be in high demand but the company has committed to do its very best to offer appointments to fit around hectic schedules during the crisis.

The company is also using selected Parts Plus hubs to reach out to NHS community nursing units to offer free disposable seat covers to help keep their staff safe.

TrustFord chairman and CEO Stuart Foulds said: “Our fleet team is fast-tracking essential vehicle orders, and after sales colleagues have been actively supporting customers on site to keep key workers on the road since the crisis started. It seemed logical to also mobilise our servicing units to reach those who cannot easily visit a site.

“The idea to give away free disposable seat covers came through an appeal my wife spotted and I was delighted that our Parts Plus team was able to source some to give away,” he added.

NHS and those listed by the government as essential workers who would like to know more about the mobile servicing units should visit the Trustford Mobile Servicing web page.

Anyone connected to NHS community nursing interested in the free disposable seat covers should contact one of the participating sites which can be located using the Parts Plus UK website.
