A
local fish business has taken delivery of their second Trafic van from
Mitchells Lowestoft after racking up an impressive 271,000 miles.
John
Skelly Fish Ltd, based in Lowestoft, was established 12 years ago trading all
over Norfolk and South Suffolk. For the past seven years, the husband and wife
team of John and Jennifer Skelly have been using a Renault Trafic van bought
new from Mitchells in 2005. Since then, it’s done about 800 miles a week and
now boasts an incredible mileage of more than a quarter of a million – 271,705
to be precise.
John,
who collected his new, liveried and refrigerated van from Mitchells this week,
said: “We have been very impressed with our faithful Renault Trafic van which
is a familiar sight on the area’s roads, but it’s time to trade it in for a
newer model.”
Andy
Duffield, sales manager at Mitchells Renault, added: “It’s always a pleasure to
deal with a business customer like John who gets such value-for-money out of
their vehicle. We’ve been discussing a replacement for a while, and when he
told me the mileage of his current van, I had to double check that he wasn’t
talking about kilometres! He has done a
fantastic mileage in the van – enough, in fact, to take you around the circumference
of the earth more than 10 times. It’s a great tribute to the strength and
durability of Renault’s van offering.”
