Our fresh new fleet of vans are ready to go this week! In collaboration with Brandfixx, we’ve branded our vans using the latest and greatest modular branding technology. Not only does it look great, but the overall impact the process has environmentally is huge, and fits perfectly with our deep-rooted desire for improving sustainability and CSR targets at Howard Civil Engineering!
Our managing director, Michael Howard, chose Brandfixx for its unique modular approach to vehicle branding. Where other conventional wrapping companies take considerably more application time and resources, Brandfixx have developed a method that uses 40% less material, can be fitted in a matter of hours not days, and reduces CO2 emissions by a very substantial 73% whilst still giving full vehicle coverage, backed by DEFRA metrics! Brandfixx have also supplied our vans with the highest grade premium chevrons available, working with their sister company Chapter 8 Shop to ensure our vans are as visible as possible in all conditions; safety is one of our highest priorities. And last, but certainly not least, the new vans are Euro 6 standard, which results in a 67% reduction in NOx emissions compared to the previous Euro 5 standard.
Jack Thompson, business development manager over at Brandfixx, spent the day fitting our vans with the new branding. He spoke to us about how quickly the process of branding the vans was, with him and one other colleague managing to complete nine vans in just three days! With the regular process, he said, “two fitters would normally require an entire day with constant heat gun use to complete just one van properly in a traditional wrapping method”, which really speaks to the incredible efficiency of their new technology!
Speaking to us about the whole operation, Jack Thompson said “It’s been a pleasure to deal with Michael and the team here at Howard Civil Engineering. In particular Ryan, Gavin and Sophie have been fantastic to liaise with in terms of getting their new design and requirements nailed down, so a special thank you for all their efforts! We’re really excited to start the journey of the Howard Civil Engineering rebrand with these initial 9 vans - completing three a day between just two fitters is a real demonstration of the efficiency of our product. Each van took on average just an hour and a half to complete with no heat guns required, ensuring true sustainability of vehicle branding, backed by definitive DEFRA metrics. Thank you for choosing Brandfixx!”.
