Matt Wheelton International Ltd is a European transport company based in St Neots, Cambridgeshire. Founded in 2017, the group specialises in transporting vehicle parts, chemicals, and steel parts around Europe. Their three-vehicle strong fleet includes two Renault trucks on contract hire from RH Rentals, the sister company of RH Commercial Vehicles.
Director, Matt Wheelton explained why he opted for contract hire. “It brings a lot more peace of mind when considering the fleet’s operational costs – especially during these times of economic uncertainty. With a fixed monthly cost, there are no hidden surprises.”
The vehicle is required to make regular trips to Europe; therefore, it needs to function with maximum efficiency and reliability. RH Rentals are specialists in supplying tailor-made contract hire packages to offer the best-performing vehicles possible. As part of the tailor-made European package, the T-High 520 is in safe hands with all inspections, services and MOTs included at Renault’s main dealer workshops, full UK and European breakdown assistance, repair and recovery, full compliance management and support from the short-term hire fleet as a replacement vehicle.
Comfort is another vital consideration when on long-haul trips. The T-High was designed with driver comfort as a primary concern. The cab features heated seats, plenty of room to move around and lots of storage to make drivers feel their trucks are a home from home.
Matt Wheelton said: “Our drivers will spend most of their time in their cabs, so their comfort and wellbeing is a priority. There has been lots of positive feedback about the T-High. One driver said it was the best night’s sleep he had in a truck for a long time!”
Overall, the experience Matt Wheelton received from RH was very good. With clear, direct lines of communication, a prosperous working relationship between the two companies can grow.
“In the not-too-distant future, we will be looking to replace some of the vehicles in our fleet. With the positive feedback from the T-High so far, there’s no reason we won’t be opting for Renault in the future.”
