Cambridge Fleet Ltd: Everything You Need To Know

Cambridge Fleet Ltd is the company all others buy from and these (above) are just some of the vehicles that we sell
Just last month, Route One, the market leading coach and bus industry weekly magazine, came to our offices in Belvedere to talk to us about the story behind Cambridge Fleet Ltd, the vehicles that we sell and the role that Cambridge Fleet has to play within the accessible and non-accessible vehicle trade.

As Access A Bus Sales UK, the trading arm of Cambridge Fleet Ltd, continues to grow rapidly on social media just like the company itself, we thought we would give you the lowdown on everything we do at Cambridge Fleet and there is no better place to do so than right here on our very own blog!

Cambridge Fleet Ltd: An Overview


Just in case you didn't already know, Cambridge Fleet Ltd is Britain's largest supplier of quality used and new accessible and non-accessible minibuses. It doesn't just stop at minibuses, though. From buses, vans, WAV's, tippers. fridge vehicles, cars - you name the vehicle, whether it be accessible or non-accessible, we more than likely sell it here at Cambridge Fleet.

As our offices are just a stones throw away from London Hire, arguably the most renowned supplier in the minibus market who fleet over 1,500 vehicles, the task was handed over to us at Cambridge Fleet to sell those vehicles as the disposal arm of London Hire. Due to the increasing demand for accessible and non-accessible vehicles, Cambridge Fleet branched out to include other dealership activity, purchasing vehicles for ourselves from local authority and community transport groups.

In order to deal with the huge demand of the accessible minibus market, Cambridge Fleet decided to form the Access A Bus Sales UK trading arm. Launched in June, Access A Bus provide quality and specialised vehicles to customers with trusted expertise and a background of the industry.

The Shareholder's Perspective

When speaking to Route One, John Surroy, partner and shareholder of Cambridge Fleet Ltd, gave a detailed history of Cambridge Fleet and explained how the company continues to grow. "We moved into our own premises two years ago" said John. "Cambridge Fleet started out by selling London Hire's de-fleeted vehicles. That business exploded so we decided to set-up as a full-blown dealer".

Demand for used minibuses is on the rise, particularly from organisations that need to transport the disabled as well as schools. As John explains, Cambridge Fleet and London Hire are able to provide the vehicles they require. "As local authorities put work out to tender, we are witness a rising demand for used minibuses. Between the two businesses, we are able to cover the entire minibus market".

Varied Offering On Our Vehicles


As we touched on previously, we have a wide range of accessible and non-accessible vehicles at Cambridge Fleet from a variety of manufacturers. From simple models to a more varied offering, we have it all. "We do a lot of 17-seat Ford Transits" John says. "Buyers save a lot by going for a late model Transit that has done 15,000 miles. We buy and sell whatever types we can get hold of."

So that is your standard vehicle. However, here at Cambridge Fleet we work alongside converters such as Euromotive, Stanford Coachworks and Treka who help us to transform standard minibuses into accessible models to give us a varied offering. "A customer could select a non-accessible bus from our stock and specify its conversion to carry wheelchairs" John continues. "We would have that work carried out by one of the three and we offer that service on Crafter, Sprinter and Transit".

The Role Cambridge Fleet Ltd Plays In The Industry

To summarise, both London Hire and Cambridge Fleet are both well established in the industry and fleet and sell enough accessible and non-accessible vehicles to cover the entire minibus market. As the Access A Bus Sales UK trading arm grows, Cambridge Fleet will become more of a force in the minibus market, building strong relationships with new and current clients and generating more sales.
