RVS’ RCV Driving Challenge invites visitors to manoeuvre a brand new custom-made remote control RCV around a special circuit, in return for a small donation to Cancer Research.Spencer Law, Managing Director, RVS said: “We have been looking for a fun, relevant way of raising money for our chosen charity and we think we have found just that. I’m sure it will be a big hit with our waste management colleagues and visitors to the show. The vehicle is a fully operational replica of the real thing and we will be expecting participants to perform some complicated manoeuvres! The vehicle and circuit will be present at all the shows we are attending this summer and hope to raise lots of money.”The person who completes the circuit in the quickest time at PAWRS will receive a Kindle Fire as a prize, and RVS will host a similar challenge at the RWM show later in the year.Dennis Eagle has part-sponsored the production of the remote control RCV, which is 70cm long x 23 cm wide and modelled on an Olympus 6 x 4 Dennis cab with fully functioning Beta 2 bin-lift.Richard Taylor, Sales & Marketing Director, Dennis Eagle: “We were delighted to be part of RVS’ fundraising initiative and we have already made a donation to get things started. It will undoubtedly be a very popular attraction with visitors at the show. I shall definitely be giving it a go!”On its stand at the show RVS will also be presenting three ‘versions’ of the same 2004 RCV demonstrating the quality of workmanship involved in creating an RVS truck. A 26 t 6x4 ‘untouched’ Dennis Elite 2 with Phoenix 2 body will stand alongside an RVS ‘quality used’ Dennis Elite 2 plus a new Dennis Elite 2 chassis with ‘re-manufactured’ Phoenix 2 body, so that visitors can see the transformation for themselves.RVS specialises in revitalising second hand dust-carts, stripping them down and replacing or repairing worn or defective parts to provide high quality ‘as new’ vehicles that are fully serviced & inspected, and cost a fraction of the price of a new vehicle but offer the same operational longevity.RVS is sponsoring the Municipal Vehicle Rental Company of The Year Award this year, which will be presented at the PAWRS Awards Gala Dinner taking place on 12 June at the Riviera International Centre in Paignton.For more information about RVS visit stand M35 at PAWRS 11-13 June.

We looked at buying new vehicles but didn’t want that level of capital expenditure, so we investigated the second hand market place and RVS were recommended to us time and again.“When we visited RVS we liked what we saw and compared to the other providers we spoke to, they were much more professional and responsive.”After receiving the specification for three vehicles, RVS had delivered the first vehicle within 8 weeks of receiving the order – a 26t rear steer Mercedes Econic with Heil Powerlink body, fitted with brand new Zoeller trade bin lift. The remaining two vehicles, with exactly the same specification, will be delivered by the end of May. Two of the vehicles are fitted with the ENVIROWEIGH dynamic bin-weighing system from Vehicle Weighing Solutions Ltd.Sean added: “The crew are delighted with the new vehicle and that all the vehicles will be the same. They are also relieved not to suffer vehicles that break down all the time. Our customers are also pleased that our fleet looks better and is branded with our corporate identity.”Spencer Law, Managing Director, RVS said: “Nordic are an impressive company and it is a big compliment that they have chosen us to help them establish their first fleet. We look forward to working with them into the future.”Nordic Recycling was first established in 1995 and is owned by Forth Ports Ltd, one of the UK’s largest port operators.

The company recently needed to purchase a 26 tonne refuse vehicle and decided to opt for a quality used vehicle rather than buy new.John Stride, Managing Director, Orion Waste said: “We have never bought a big RCV before so to reduce our capital risk we opted for a used vehicle and I’m glad to say we couldn’t have made a better decision. It has definitely put us off buying a new vehicle in the future.”The vehicle from Refuse Vehicle Solutions Ltd (RVS), was fully serviced, MOT’d, LOLER certified, reupholstered, re-sprayed in Orion’s livery and made free of visual defects before being delivered in under 6 weeks. It cost less than 25% of the cost of a new vehicle, and promises the same operational lifetime.One of London’s premier waste operators Orion operates a fleet of around 40 vehicles including roll-on roll-off vehicles, skip lorries, caged tippers and 18 tonne RCV’s. In response to a surge in demand the company has added 8 new vehicles to its fleet since October 2012.Refuse Vehicle Solutions is the UK’s leading provider of high quality used and re-manufactured refuse vehicles, with the expertise and resources to engineer a vehicle to meet a customer’s precise requirements, including full or partial body re-manufacturing.For more information about RVS tel 01453 899 131, email <a href="mailto:info@rvsl.co.uk">info@rvsl.co.uk</a>, visit <a href="http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk">www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk</a>ENDS. http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk/Second_Hand_RCV_Best_Decision_For_Orion_Waste--post--28.html 'Positive' Refuse Vehicle Solutions Showcased By Ellen MacArthur Foundation A leading charity that works to re-design a positive future, The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, is showcasing Refuse Vehicle Solutions Ltd (RVS) as an excellent example of the Circular Economy. RVS is now the focus of a case study that features on the Foundation’s website.The circular economy is a generic term for an industrial economy that is, by design or intention, restorative and regenerative. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity that aims to inspire a generation to re-think, re-design and build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy.The current ‘take, make and dispose’ model common with many industrial processes depletes the world’s natural resources and generates an increasing quantity of unwanted by-products, many of which end up in landfill.A leading provider of both quality used and re-manufactured refuse vehicles, RVS specialises in revitalising second hand dust-carts, stripping them down and replacing or repairing worn and defective parts, to provide high quality ‘as-new’ vehicles that cost a fraction of the expense of a new vehicle.Spencer Law, Managing Director, RVS said: “We are honoured to be acknowledged by such a respected, forward thinking organisation and delighted that our activities compliment the drive for a more sustainable economy. Continued Spencer: “Customers used to sell their vehicles after 5-7 years and then bought new ones, which always seemed like a waste of money and resources to me.”To view the RVS case study and to find out more about the Ellen MacArthur Foundation visit <a href="http://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/case_studies/refuse-vehicle-solutions">http://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/case_studies/refuse-vehicle-solutions</a>For more information about RVS tel 01453 899 131, email <a href="mailto:info@rvsl.co.uk">info@rvsl.co.uk</a>, visit <a href="http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk">www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk</a>ENDS. http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk/Positive_Refuse_Vehicle_Solutions_Showcased_By_Ellen_MacArthur_Foundation--post--27.html Quality Used Vehicles More Value For Taxpayers Money Quality Used Vehicles More Value For Taxpayers MoneyWhen faced with introducing new collection services or having to fill gaps when vehicles break down or need servicing, many local authorities are finding that buying quality used or re-manufactured refuse vehicles is proving to be a quick and cost effective solution.Traditionally Denbighshire County Council in Wales has bought new vehicles but during the recent role out of its new green wheelie bin service a gap in their fleet requirements was identified. In order to continue rolling out the service but without having to make any rash decisions about acquiring new vehicles, the authority chose to purchase a quality used refuse truck, a Dennis Elite 2 with Terberg Tinium split bin lift , from Refuse Vehicle Solutions Ltd (RVS). In comparison with a new vehicle the truck, which promises the same operational lifetime, cost less than a third of the price.Chris Brown, Assistant Fleet Manager, Denbighshire County Council explains: “While we roll out the wheelie bins we want to take this opportunity to monitor the fleet we have to see if and what changes are necessary to best deliver our new service. RVS has an excellent reputation and when we visited their stand at RWM we could see first hand the quality of their work.”“We decided to forego the cost and waiting time of purchasing a new vehicle and RVS delivered us an immaculate, fully MOT’d, serviced and re-sprayed used truck in under 5 weeks. It’s difficult to tell the vehicle apart from a new truck, such is the quality of presentation.”Over at Malvern Hills District Council Danny Healey, Transport & Logistics Manager, was faced with the dilemma of needing spare vehicles for cover but finding it difficult to justify the expense of taxpayers’ money to buy or rent additional new vehicles.Danny said: “I’d heard about RVS and got in touch with Spencer who had some second hand vehicles exactly like the ones we needed. They were only 5 years old and four weeks after we’d seen them, they were delivered to us.”The vehicles, two 6x4 Mercedes Econic RCV’s with Terberg triple bin-lifts, were given a full service and MOT before being re-sprayed and supplied to the authority.Danny continued: “I couldn’t believe they were the same vehicles. Put them side by side with our new vehicles and you can’t tell the difference.”Refuse Vehicle Solutions is the UK’s leading provider of high quality used and re-manufactured refuse vehicles, with the expertise and resources to engineer a vehicle to meet a customer’s precise requirements, including full or partial body re-manufacturing.For more information about RVS tel 01453 899 131, email <a href="mailto:info@rvsl.co.uk">info@rvsl.co.uk</a>, visit <a href="http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk">www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk</a>ENDS. http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk/Quality_Used_Vehicles_More_Value_For_Taxpayers_Money--post--26.html TQ Recycling Doubles Collection Devon recycling company, TQ Recycling, was named after its postcode area – a region renowned for free thinking and a commitment to improving the environment. True to its namesake the company has doubled its recycling collection in the past 7 months and is expanding its vehicle fleet to meet rising demand.Jon Whiley, Managing Director, TQ Recycling worked in the waste management sector as a consultant for over 5 years before buying the company in March this year. TQ Recycling has a very hands-on approach and carries out a detailed waste audit for every customer, which involves picking through bins by hand, before recommending a containerisation solution that allows the company to recover and recycle more material and minimise any waste sent to landfill. Over 400 audits have been carried out to date.Jon said: “We are in essence a recycling business and our whole focus is on recycling as much of our customers’ waste as possible. We are the only company in Devon that runs a comprehensive Materials Recycling Facility where waste is separated, sorted, recovered and made available for recycling back into its generic product type.”TQ Recycling turned to fellow South West business & specialist provider of quality used and re-manufactured vehicles, Refuse Vehicle Solutions Ltd (RVS), to procure additional vehicles for its transport operations. The vehicles - a 7.5 tonne Isuzu NQR, with NTM K-Midi body with a 1100 trade bin lift, and a 2007 Dennis Elite 2 with Phoenix 2 body and Beta trade bin lift – were sourced, serviced, MOT’d, re-sprayed and delivered to TQ Recycling in under 6 weeks.Jon Whiley added: “We had heard great things about RVS and they are based in the South West like us, which fits in with our ‘buy local’ ethos. Re-using vehicles in this way is in keeping with our philosophy of recycling. The vehicles are immaculate and offer a far greater return on investment than buying new. The RVS team have been nothing but helpful and we won’t hesitate to go back again for more vehicles as we continue our growth in 2013.”Refuse Vehicle Solutions is the UK’s leading provider of high quality used and re-manufactured refuse vehicles, with the expertise and resources to engineer a vehicle to meet a customer’s precise requirements, including full or partial body re-manufacturing.For more information about RVS tel 01453 899 131, email <a href="mailto:info@rvsl.co.uk">info@rvsl.co.uk</a>, visit <a href="http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk">www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk</a>ENDS. http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk/TQ_Recycling_Doubles_Collection--post--25.html Swindon Replaces Hire Vehicles With Re-manufactured Swindon Commercial Services Ltd (SCS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Swindon Borough Council, has just acquired two re-manufactured 2008 Volvo FM, Telehoist TL22 hook-loaders from Refuse Vehicle Solutions (RVS).The vehicles will replace long-term hire vehicles that aren’t proving to be cost effective.

We asked RVS to search the market place for some hook-lifts and two immaculate vehicles were presented to us 6 weeks later. We saved around 40% compared with the cost of a new vehicle, but with the equivalent lifetime and operational standards.”Spencer Law, Managing Director, Refuse Vehicle Solutions said: “We pride ourselves on building up long-standing relationships with our customers and we do that by making sure that our vehicles meet the highest of standards.

We had to seal the NTM body to accept food waste, modify the height of the front of the body and fit a drain-off as well as a drip-tray under the tailgate seal. We installed a Beta2 bin lift to the other Dennis truck as it was open at the back. From placement of the order to delivery of the vehicles took under 6 weeks.”Continued Simon: “The quality of the vehicles from RVS is difficult to tell apart from brand new vehicles plus they offer the same operational lifetime.

With the full range of services all under one roof, Bakers Waste offers waste collection, recycling and shredding services, as well as helping companies to achieve ISO accreditation and divert waste away from landfill.Although the company has purchased new vehicles straight from manufacturers before, a re-manufactured vehicle from RVS offered the best value for money especially given the current difficult economic climate.

They’re experts at lengthening the life of dustcarts. It runs superbly and is mechanically sound, and we didn’t hesitate to go back again to order another vehicle. RVS can turn around a vehicle much quicker than most manufacturer’s lead times, which is crucial for our business. We often need vehicles at short notice to meet the demands of new business.”Paul added: “Doing business with RVS is much more straightforward than with some of the large manufacturers and dealers.

From start up businesses such as Equinox Recycling to established companies like London Waste Solutions, a re-manufactured vehicle offers the same lifetime and operational capacity, but without the huge capital cost, saving an average of up to 40% off the cost of a new vehicle.Andy Gibbons has been in the waste management sector for over 20 years and has just set up Equinox Recycling, providing a recycling collection service for businesses in the South East. Beginning with a truck and trailer and roll-on roll-off vehicle, customer demand soon required that Andy purchase a refuse truck, but with some specific requirements.Andy explains: “I needed a Rear End Loader for emptying skips but also with the capacity to lift 1100 litre bins and I needed it in under 6 weeks! These vehicles can be hard to find but RVS had a vehicle matching our needs and re-manufactured the body and bin lifts to such a superb standard. The vehicle is unrecognisable from its original state and the service from RVS has been spot on.”Refuse Vehicle Solutions delivered the re-manufactured Heil Big Bite on a Scania chassis with BBC Bin Lift within 6 weeks. Spencer Law, Managing Director, Refuse Vehicle Solutions said: “We keep a rolling stock of around 30 vehicles, but if we don’t have what a customer wants we go out and find it. In most cases we can beat manufacturers’ lead times, which is important for smaller operators who need vehicles quickly to respond to customer demand.”Over in Uxbridge, Middlesex is London Waste Solutions, one of the capital’s longest running waste management companies, set up 21 years ago by managing director Vince Whelan. Responsible for servicing some of the City’s most cherished landmarks and prestigious buildings, London Waste Solutions required a new vehicle to facilitate their new food waste collection service. Once a vehicle had been sourced, a 2005 Daf LF 55, 4x2, 18000 gvw with an automatic gearbox and Terberg TL25 Toploader, RVS set about modifying it to take food waste, which entailed sealing and water proofing the container.Vince said: “We usually buy new vehicles but we felt that in order to trial this new service it would make better sense to use a re-manufactured vehicle. We are delighted with the service from RVS and the vehicle is in stunning condition. We would definitely consider purchasing more vehicles from RVS in the future.”For more information about RVS tel 01453 899 131, email <a href="mailto:info@rvsl.co.uk">info@rvsl.co.uk</a> visit <a href="http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk">www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk</a>RVS are exhibiting at PAWRS – Stand M19ENDS. http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk/ReManufactured_Vehicles_In_Demand_In_London_and_the_South_East--post--14.html Refuse Vehicle Solutions Shows Workmanship At PAWRS Stand M19 Leading re-manufacturer of refuse vehicles, Refuse Vehicle Solutions (RVS), is all set to make a big impact at this year’s PAWRS. As well as showcasing their workmanship on a 7-year old re-manufactured refuse truck, RVS will also be presenting for the first time their newly refurbished ex-British Forces Post Office trailer, which they will be using to host guests at the show.Spencer Law, Managing Director, RVS said: “We’ve done a lot of work to the trailer to bring it up to standard and it’s got some quirky features such as crew seats taken from a refuse truck. It should be quite a talking point at the show. It provides us with somewhere comfortable and weather-proof to sit and talk to visitors.”RVS has never been so busy with an increasing number of local authorities as well as private sector contractors, now choosing to refresh their fleets with an RVS re-manufactured vehicle. Spencer explains: “We specialise in providing high quality, cost effective, re-manufactured refuse vehicles. We can engineer a vehicle to meet a customer’s precise requirements, whether that involves full or partial body re-manufacturing. A big plus is that we can beat manufacturers lead times. We can often source, re-manufacture and deliver an ‘as new’ vehicle in under 4 weeks.”Martin Britchford, Fleet Buyer for Swindon Commercial Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Swindon Borough Council, recently ordered six refuse vehicles from RVS:“Last year we bought a vehicle from RVS and when it was delivered, in under 3 weeks, it was difficult to tell it apart from a new vehicle. If we can get the equivalent lifetime and operational standards from re-manufactured vehicles as we can from new vehicles, at the same time making significant savings against capital costs, we are able to provide a much better value for money service.” http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk/Refuse_Vehicle_Solutions_Shows_Workmanship_At_PAWRS_Stand_M19--post--13.html Swindon Chooses Re-manufactured Fleet From RVS Swindon Commercial Services Ltd (SCS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Swindon Borough Council, has placed an order for six re-manufactured RCV’s from Gloucestershire based re-manufacturing specialists Refuse Vehicle Solutions.The vehicles, all with 6x4 standard width Dennis Elite 2 chassis, are due for delivery in February and comprise three Dennis Phoenix 2 bodies with OTTO Continental 2 bin-lifts for domestic waste and three Geesink GPM3 bodies with Combi S3 trade bin-lifts for green trade waste.Martin Britchford, Fleet Buyer, Swindon Commercial Services said: “Last year we bought a vehicle from RVS and when it was delivered, in under 3 weeks, it was difficult to tell it apart from a new vehicle. If we can get the equivalent lifetime and operational standards from re-manufactured vehicles as we can from new vehicles, at the same time making significant savings against capital costs, we are able to provide a much better value for money service.”Refuse Vehicle Solutions specialise in the re-manufacturing of second hand refuse vehicles from full or partial body re-manufacturing to the provision of a complete refuse vehicle. They also offer a comprehensive parts, safety equipment and lighting products service.Spencer Law, Managing Director, RVS said: “We are delighted to have been awarded such a significant contract and to be continuing our relationship with SCS. Our vehicles are in a league of their own and because we are not at the mercy of manufacturer’s lead times we can often deliver vehicles that match a customer’s specification, much quicker.” http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk/Swindon_Chooses_Remanufactured_Fleet_From_RVS--post--12.html Expanding Market for Re-manufactured Refuse Vehicles With restricted budgets and increasing operational demands, local authorities are searching for new ways to get more out of their existing fleets and purchasing re-manufactured vehicles is becoming a popular option.Testament to this the UK’s leading supplier of re-manufactured refuse vehicles, Gloucestershire-based Refuse Vehicle Solutions Ltd (RVS), is reporting record sales this month and a bumper year that has exceeded all targets.RVS specialises in re-manufacturing vehicles to a standard that is on a par with new vehicles straight from the factory floor. The end result is a vehicle that has the same lifetime and looks the same as a new vehicle.RVS Director, Spencer Law explains: “We can take bodies from customers existing fleet, re-build them as new, and mount them onto new chassis. In effect they have a new vehicle, but for a fraction of the cost. On average our customers save between 20-40% off the cost of purchasing a new vehicle.”In the private sector waste operators are increasingly turning to re-manufactured vehicle solutions.Philip Stone, Managing Director of Reading based Select Environmental Services; specialists in commercial waste collection, recycling, security shredding and hazardous waste management, comments: “For operators like Select who prefer to own their fleet, there are a number of increasing factors that make re-manufactured refuse vehicles a more attractive option to buying new. And, with the Government’s planned reduction in capital allowances, I can certainly see benefits to our business if we can get a second life out of existing equipment that has already been paid for. Finance options are typically more restrictive for used vehicles, but as the chassis (and licence plate) for a re-manufactured vehicle is as new, we can negotiate much better repayment terms. This also helps cash flow providing a platform for sustainable growth.”Philip further added: “In some cases we have had to wait up to 9 months for a specialist body to be delivered and that potentially could mean losing out on an opportunity. Re-manufacturing a vehicle to exact specifications can be done quickly and efficiently in a matter of weeks if necessary.” http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk/Expanding_Market_for_Remanufactured_Refuse_Vehicles_--post--11.html RWM Leads to Sales Success For Refuse Vehicle Solutions Re-manufacturing specialists, Refuse Vehicle Solutions (RVS), are experiencing their busiest month ever with enquiries and sales flooding in, as a result of their presence at the Recycling & Waste Management (RWM) in partnership with CIWM exhibition earlier this month.RVS specialises in re-manufacturing refuse vehicles to the same specification and quality as new vehicles direct from the manufacturers, for 40% less cost on average.Spencer Law, Managing Director, RVS said: “We’ve had orders for 10 trucks and still counting, as a result of people visiting our stand at the show. Even the vehicle we were showcasing has gone.”RVS’ superbly presented re-manufactured 6x2 Dennis Eagle chassis with Elite body and Terberg OmniDel bin lift, was a talking point at the show.Added Spencer: “We are confident that our re-manufactured vehicles are as good as new, and we go to great lengths to make sure that they stand the test of time. We help private contractors and local authorities get more value for money out of their fleets.”Andy Collett, owner of Collett Transport Services Ltd (CTS), one of the industry’s leading vehicle hire companies, was so impressed with the vehicle on display at the show that he decided to buy it.Andy said: “I could see immediately that the quality of the vehicle was of a superior standard, and it was clear that a lot of time and effort had been spent on it. I’ve ordered two more vehicles of the identical specification.”RVS are already looking forward to attending the show next year.CIWM Chief Executive Steve Lee said: “We are delighted with the feedback we have had from many exhibitors at this first RWM in partnership with CIWM Exhibition, and are very pleased that Refuse Vehicle Solutions had such a successful show.“With over 13,000 visitors all the indications are that the merger was the right move for our sector.”To find out more about Refuse Vehicle Solutions contact Spencer Law on tel:01453 899 131 or email <a href="mailto:sales@rvsl.co.uk">sales@rvsl.co.uk</a> http://www.refusevehiclesolutions.co.uk/RWM_Leads_to_Sales_Success_For_Refuse_Vehicle_Solutions--post--10.html Refuse Vehicle Solutions Exhibits At RWM 2011 - OA 110 <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 7px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><strong style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Gloucestershire-based Refuse Vehicle Solutions (RVS) will be showcasing one of its re-manufactured refuse vehicles at RWM show this year, to demonstrate the company’s commitment to providing superior quality, ‘as new’ vehicles, at a fraction of the cost.<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 7px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">The demonstration vehicle is a Dennis Eagle, Elite 2, 6x2 Narrow Chassis, sporting VWS onboard weighing equipment, a reverse camera system from Vision Techniques and strobe hazard warning beacons.<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 7px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Spencer Law, director of RVS, has over 25 years experience in the waste management sector, first as a service engineer at Jack Allen and then moving on to set up Wastetec, a vehicle service provider for local authorities and commercial businesses.<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 7px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Spencer said: “Our aim is to help customers get more value for money out of their fleets.
