A great sales executive and company to deal with
Initially Chris was very helpful but as he was going to be having a few days off I was passed onto Myles Mulkerrins.
He kept me informed throughout the process and was extremely helpful.
I would recommend Myles , Chris and the team at Anchor Vans for a diligent and thorough job in taking my van as a part exchange and dealing with a smooth handover.
Great work Myles, keep up the good work !
