The new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has been crowned Van of the Year at the prestigious Commercial Fleet Awards, held on the 29th November in the Hilton Metropole, Birmingham.
Van of the Year was judged this year by readers of Commercial Fleet, the van operators themselves, who use these vehicles in their daily work.
The judges commented: “Recently voted by FN50 leasing companies as the most reliable van in the sector, fleet decision-makers have now voted the Sprinter as their favourite. The Sprinter is a high quality, safety-focused and technology-laden vehicle with a broad range of options to suit everyone, making it an ideal choice for virtually every type of fleet operation.
Steve Bridge, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Vans UK Ltd, added: “The Sprinter is a true workhorse that keeps businesses moving, and we are so proud that the new Sprinter continues to raise the bar. Awards judged by van operators mean so much to us and we’re pleased to have built a van that continues to impress the industry.”
Last Friday, we were delighted to visit @eastlancshospice alongside our beekeeper, John Beavan, for a special MerceBEES honey demonstration.
Patients and staff learned all about bees, honey production and the extraction process, with Matt even getting involved by helping to prepare and spin the honey frames.
The visit finished with a tasting session of this year’s delicious MerceBEES honey and was a fantastic opportunity to share the story behind our hives and the important fundraising work they support.
All proceeds from the sale of our MerceBEES honey will be donated to East Lancashire Hospice, helping to support the incredible care and services they provide to patients and families across our local community.
