Shock news on vans

Just in -


Self Employed Men – King of the White Van

75% of van drivers are self employed, according to an in-depth analysis of 65,000 Swinton Commercial Vehicle Insurance customers[1]. The analysis also found that 96% of the van drivers were male with an average age of 37.

Traditional tradesmen still rely on commercial vehicles, with most van drivers being builders (17%), followed by painters and decorators (5%), joiners (5%), landscape gardeners (4%) and carpenters (4%). The analysis also revealed that the van of choice – by a long way – is still the Ford Transit (23%).

Steve Chelton, Insurer Development Manager for Swinton, said: “As builders, painters, plasterers, and other tradesmen, commercial vehicle drivers play a vital role in our economy and we should celebrate the work they do every day – especially at this difficult time. [no pause for blatant plug, deliver quickly and with conviction]And to help workers through these difficult market conditions we are offering motorists 1/3 off all new commercial vehicle policies.”
