runyourfleet vans keep tails wagging at dogs home

Lovable pooches are enjoying a smoother ride thanks to three new Ford Transit vans supplied to Birmingham Dogs Home by Multifleet Vehicle Management.

Multifleet, which trades as runyourfleet and is based in Solihull, delivered a diesel Transit last summer and the latest two electric Transit vans in December.

And now the new vehicles are proudly sporting the Birmingham Dogs Home charity branding to help raise vital awareness as they complete multiple journeys across the Midlands.

Tony Rostill, the runyourfleet manager who looks after Birmingham Dogs Home’s account, said: “We have a wide range of valued customers, but we especially enjoy helping to look after stranded pooches across the region.

“We have now supplied the charity with the latest electric Transit vans that will make sure that dogs have a comfortable journey and that the supplies they need are transported quickly and efficiently.”

Birmingham Dogs Home helps to rescue homeless dogs across the West Midlands. It is based at centres in Catherine-de-Barnes, near Solihull, and in Coven, near Wolverhampton, where more than 2,000 dogs are cared for every year.

Areika Bickerton, head of operations at Birmingham Dogs Home, said: “We love our new vehicles, and they look fantastic with the charity’s branding.

“Sustainability is important to us, so we are especially proud to be incorporating electric vehicles into our fleet, reducing our environmental impact while continuing to provide the best care for the dogs.

“Staff at runyourfleet have been managing our vehicles since March last year, and everyone at Birmingham Dogs Home has been really pleased with the care and attention we receive.

“We’re also sure that our furry friends are enjoying their rides in our smart, eco-friendly vans!”

She added that Birmingham Dogs Home has been helping the local community for over 133 years and planned to continue to support dogs and their owners for many years to come.
