Richard’s story
Securing a reliable van to support his family.
Richard*, who lives in the Northeast with his wife and two young children, runs a small catering company, providing event and corporate catering services. Reliable transport is essential for his business. Without a van, he couldn’t deliver food or equipment to clients on time. Before securing his new vehicle, Richard had to rent vans just to reach different jobs, which put huge pressure on both his time and finances.
His previous van had been repossessed, and after going through an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), securing finance became incredibly difficult. Each rejection made it harder for him to keep his business going.
When Richard came to Vanquis, we were able to help him finance a Vauxhall Vivaro. For him, owning a reliable van was not simply about convenience. It was the foundation of his ability to work and support his family.
“Vanquis gave me the ability to work and own my van. With a young family to support, I cannot thank them enough. Without them, I honestly do not know what I would have done.”
“Richard” is a pseudonym.
