Wren Kitchens order their 1000th vehicle with Pendragon

Pendragon Vehicle Management (PVM) have facilitated the latest batch of vehicles to help Wren Kitchens reach for a more sustainable future, which includes 38 fully electric Toyota Proace City Vans.

Wren Kitchens has been a Pendragon customer since 2019 with just over 600 of their fleet funded and managed by Pendragon Vehicle Management. With 500 leased vehicles and just over 100 fleet managed vehicles, these latest 38 fully electric Toyota Proace City Vans are Wren’s first venture into leasing electric vans. Together with orders placed for delivery next year takes Wren to their 1000th vehicle order with PVM.

These electric Toyota Proace vans will be used nationwide within Wren’s Fleet by Management, surveyors and as Mobile Design Centres in and around London. Two of the vans will be used by their new and rapidly expanding Contract Kitchen Team.

These new Contract Kitchen vans have a new livery design and take the Contract Kitchen fleet to 20 vehicles, which includes 16 plug-in hybrids and two Tesla model Y vehicles. PVM worked closely with Wren to spec the vehicles and determine whole life cost analysis for both purchase and lease options, we were able to deliver a 15% saving on the option for leasing the vehicles.

Wren Kitchens, the UK’s number one affordable luxury kitchen retailer has recently expanded its offering in to the property development and social housing sectors, where they are rapidly becoming the retailer of choice across the UK.

‘We are constantly reviewing our fleet programme with Wren to ensure they are presented with the best possible options when considering fleet vehicles and fleet management solutions. Vehicle off road reporting, utilisation reports, proactive service and MOT invites forms just part of the in-life provision PVM provide for Wren’s fleet and is reviewed regularly to ensure the best possible performance for their fleet. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Wren, the planned roll out of an additional 200 vehicles early next year and working hard to increase the percentage of EV’s across their large and impressive fleet’.
