Beerhouse Self Drive Hire, one of Yorkshire’s largest independent rental companies based on Rotterdam Road in Hull, has recently beaten off stiff national competition to win a new, three year contract with Bishop Burton College. The contract is to supply six new minibuses featuring the College’s corporate colours and full branding. The minibuses will be used for student-orientated activities including academic trips, vocational and well-being activities.
The transport team at Bishop Burton College didn’t simply make their decision based on price or locality; they were looking for a company that offered a full support package too, as Dave Neve, Transport Manager for Bishop Burton College, explains:
“Whilst price is an important factor when choosing a rental company, we decided early on in the process that we were looking for a supplier who would support us and provide a comprehensive customer service package too.
“We approached several local and national companies during the pitching process but finally decided to opt for Beerhouse based upon their flexibility and back up service. Should anything happen to a vehicle, Beerhouse will drop off a replacement at short notice so any impact to the college and our students is minimal.
“This level of customer service is essential when managing the transport for a busy College. We have already worked with Beerhouse on a previous contract, which made us confident they were up to the job. The new vehicles will be with us and in use by November.”
Phil Moses, Director of Beerhouse Self Drive Hire, comments:
“We are proud to be continuing our work and to be associated with a leading specialist college as a result of the added value services we provide. The support package we offer includes ongoing maintenance, pick-up and drop off of vehicles and a fast, flexible approach to problem solving.
“It’s great to have beaten off stiff competition, which proves our ability to offer a service over and above our national competitors.”
Beerhouse Self Drive Hire was established in 2005 and its services include daily spot hire rentals, long and short term flexible rentals and contract hire. The company also specialises in corporate vehicle hire and currently runs in excess of 400 vehicles covering cars, people carriers, minibuses and vans. When required, Beerhouse can source and rent bespoke vehicles to suit project work as well as providing chauffeur services.
Beerhouse also recently launched a new motorhome rental service to meet increased customer demand.
