Hitachi Capital Commercial Vehicle Solutions support Active Trowbridge

  • Provision of high-roof Transit van, free for six months
  • Van will enable Active Trowbridge to transport equipment across the community during the busy summer period
  • Trowbridge Town Council’s scheme delivers over 300 hours of sports coaching per week

HITACHI Capital Commercial Vehicle Solutions has provided Active Trowbridge with a Ford Transit to support their fun-filled activities in the community this summer.

Active Trowbridge, who provides the region’s young people with affordable sports and activities, received the long-wheelbase, high-roof Transit, free of charge for six months.

This allows them to reach out to local schools and community groups throughout the region, by helping them transport equipment for their wide range of initiatives.

The LCV has been taken from current stock and liveried in Active Trowbridge decals . This will help promote awareness of the varying activities and youth services across Trowbridge and the surrounding areas, during the upcoming school holidays and beyond.

The initiative demonstrates Hitachi Capital Commercial Vehicle Solutions’ ongoing commitment to the community by utilising the Transit for local projects.

Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions has a fleet of over 60,000 vehicles ranging from cars, small, medium, and large vans to HGVs, specialist equipment and plant.

In Trowbridge, Hitachi Capital is also part-funding the Active scheme’s hire of inflatable equipment, including assault courses, play -zones, bungee runs and football arenas.

Started in 2008, Active Trowbridge employs 16 sports coaches, who help to deliver over 300 hours of sports coaching every week.

Their annual Community Sports Roadshows – funded by Trowbridge Town Council – offer toddlers and children between five and 12 years old free access to sporting and active events on weekdays between 27 July and 29 August 2015.

Hayley Bell, Leisure Manager at Trowbridge Town Council, commented: “It’s fantastic that Hitachi Capital Commercial Vehicle Solutions not only helps fund Active Trowbridge’s activities, but provides us with a vehicle large enough to transport our equipment around Trowbridge and the surrounding areas.

“Their support is invaluable in helping Active Trowbridge fulfil a very busy period for the community’s youngsters.”

Jon Lawes, managing director of Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions, added: “Active Trowbridge is an important initiative which brings communities toget her and promotes exercise and a healthy lifestyle.

“Assisting Active Trowbridge with funding is only one way of helping out; supplying them with a vehicle, free of charge, is an equally viable method of support, which enables local children to enjoy an active summer.”
