Nationwide Vehicle Contrasts Improve Customer Service By Opening At Weekends

In a bid to make life easier for their many customers, one of the UK’s largest car leasing companies has decided to open at weekends, to add to its existing weekday service. Nationwide Vehicle Contracts are now able to provide the finest deals on the very latest cars on Saturdays and Sundays between 10 am and 4pm.

NVC are committed to providing the finest customer service, and have made the switch to weekend working because they recognise that many of their clients have more time on Saturdays and Sundays than they have during the week. Nationwide know that deciding from their many superb cars isn’t always an easy matter, so the decision-making process can now be a more leisurely one.

As might be expected from a major player in the leasing industry, Nationwide Vehicle Contracts have an enormous range of cars on their books. From smaller superminis lease deals such as the superb Kia Picanto and the highly acclaimed Peugeot 107 to larger SUVs like the award-winning Porsche Cayenne and the ultra-tough Nissan X-Trail and deals such as Volvo contract hire.

In recent years, leasing a car has become more and more popular, and it’s easy to see why. Choosing this option makes financial management far easier to organise in the coming years, because the driver will know monthly outgoings in advance, and of course will not have to find a major initial outlay. By becoming available at weekends, NVC’s experienced and knowledgeable staff members will now be on hand to explain the benefits throughout the week.

One of the reasons for the company’s high profile within the industry is the combination of low prices and tempting special offers, which has proved particularly attractive in the past few years. Nationwide Vehicle Contracts have always had a strong commitment to matching quality with value, and their highly impressive Price Match Challenge is an especially good example.

NVC recognise that making a decision about leasing a superb new car isn’t always the responsibility of a single person, so their weekend opening will come as particularly welcome news to couples and families. Now everyone can join in the debate about the best options, and of course with Nationwide’s friendly experts on hand to offer guidance making the right choice has never been easier.

Having established themselves as one of the largest and most proactive car leasing specialists, Nationwide Vehicle Contracts see their weekend opening as evidence of their belief in the importance of customer service. It’s also a hugely impressive indication of their commitment to the future of their business.

Scottish Broadband Plan Would Be Boon To Small Businesses, Says Parcel2Go

New plans to dramatically increase the speed of broadband internet services to homes and businesses in Scotland by 2015 have been welcomed by the UK’s largest online parcel delivery specialist.

Parcel2Go, which helps individuals and businesses across Britain to send consignments to addresses here in the UK and countries all over the world, said if the Scottish government’s plans come to fruition, the result would be a major boost for small firms.

As part of the Infrastructure Action Plan (IAP), the government hopes that 85 to 90 per cent of properties in Scotland will benefit from broadband speeds of between 40-80Mbps. At the moment the average broadband speed in the UK is just 6.8Mbps.

The growing importance of being able to trade online and effectively manage a business through the internet means the plans could have a substantial impact on companies in Scotland. Parcel2Go’s marketing director Richard Mercer, said the parts of the IAP aimed at improving access to mobile data services could also be hugely beneficial to firms.

He said: “More and more small businesses are coming to rely on the internet and are managing to boost their takings through e-commerce. Parcel2Go helps thousands of these companies find cheap courier deals so they can ship consignments across the world, and from feedback, we understand all too well how important online services have become to the UK’s small businesses.

“With Britain facing the possibility of another recession, schemes such as this which will help firms to grow should be made a top priority. It is innovative and dynamic companies that will help Britain move towards an improved economic situation and Britain should be doing everything possible to support that growth.”

Parcel2Go backs findings of global parcel delivery survey

The UK’s largest online parcel delivery specialist has said it is unsurprised by the results of a recent study highlighting the growing importance of online delivery services.

A worldwide survey of 93 members of the Universal Postal Union showed that 70 per cent believe postal e-services are strategically important for the future. The research identified 55 different types of digital services which are now available, including track and trace and online bill payments.

According to Bolton-based Parcel2Go, which has been involved in helping businesses and individuals to organise international parcel services for over 20 years and is involved with the delivery of more than two millions parcels a year, demand for online services will continue to grow at a rapid rate.

Richard Mercer, marketing director at Parcel2Go, said the simplicity of arranging shipping services through the internet is one of the main appeals.

He said: “The results of the Universal Postal Union survey make interesting reading, but we’re not surprised to find that an increasing number of organisations are recognising the potential of online services.

“At Parcel2Go we have been focussed on bringing the latest online services to our customers for many years. Feedback tells us that online tools such as parcel tracking are highly valued by individuals, while for many business customers they have become invaluable.”

Richard added that as mobile devices such as tablet computers come to play an increasing part in people’s daily lives, demand for online courier services is only going to increase.

The survey put Switzerland at the top of the list in terms of overall e-services development, while the US, Canada and Germany all featured in the top ten. The Universal Postal Union said it was the first time it had surveyed its members on e-services, but added that this type of study will now be conducted on a regular basis.
