The majority of our clients operate in the food service industry, delivering fresh, chilled or frozen products to the catering and retail sectors. Most of them now accept that they could not meet their customers’ expectations without running a fleet of fridge vans.

The latest Food Safety legislation dictates that all food suppliers need to maintain both raw and cooked foodstuffs at less than 8 degrees centigrade, while frozen foods need to be kept at -18 degrees centigrade. These temperatures apply at both ends of the delivery journey: when loading up and on delivery to the customer.

Failing to comply with these regulations could land business owners in court with the prospect of a hefty fine. So trying to get by without a fridge van could cost you dear. And that’s before the reputational damage and potential loss of business is factored in.

So whether you’re a family butcher or a fishmonger, an outside caterer or farm shop, the changes are you’ll need to make use of chilled transport solutions at some point in your supply chain. And the good news is: it needed cost an arm and a leg!

A used van may be more cost-effective in the short term, or you could consider leasing a fridge van to minimise the upfront costs. We can also advise on volumes and payloads, so you’ll have a clearer idea of what size of van you’ll need.
