Ford Commercial Vehicle Range Has Record Awards Year

Our new and used commercial vans dealerships are sitting pretty this New Year after our range of vehicles won more plaudits in 2013 than ever before. Sandicliffe Ford\'s commercial vehicle (CV) range has collected more than 25 top awards in the last 12 months - more awards than in any other year. The all-new Ford Transit Custom led the plaudits, winning 13 awards, including International Van of the Year 2013 as well as \'van of the year\' accolades from VansA2Z, Auto Express and What Van? titles. The Transit Connect was also a winner, scooping the ACFO Small Van of the Year award for the 11th successive time. Ford Ranger - launched in 2011 - continues to impress, winning three \'best pick-up\' awards and overall International Pick-up of the Year in 2013, while the latest Ford Fiesta Van - which accounts for nearly 60 per cent of its segment sales - was awarded two \'best small van\' accolades from VansA2Z and What Van?. Ford also claimed two awards for the overall \'van manufacturer of the year\' from Fleet Van and Van Fleet World publications. David Haynes, Commercial Vehicle Sales Manager at Sandicliffe, the new and used vans experts, said: "Ford customers have the best-looking, most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient and fit-for-purpose commercial vehicle range ever to choose from and this is reflected in outstanding awards success. "On top of the launch investment committed for these new class-leading Transit models, our East Midlands commercial vehicle customers know they are dealing with a company who has over 60 years experience of selling new and used Ford vans. We\'ve been the region\'s Ford commercial specialists for decades and it is very pleasing to see that our range of vehicles is being recognised by these prestigious awards."
