How Welfare Vans Become the Mobile Hub for Construction Sites

Redefining On-Site Facilities: How Welfare Vans Become the Mobile Hub for Construction Sites

In the construction industry, efficiency and productivity reign supreme. However, ensuring the well-being and comfort of on-site workers often takes a backseat. However, with the advent of welfare vans, the landscape of on-site facilities is undergoing a significant transformation. These mobile hubs are not just vehicles; they are dynamic solutions that redefine the way construction firms approach worker amenities. At CVM World we are revolutionising on-site facilities and reshaping the construction industry as we know it by building high quality Welfare Vans.

Employment Placement at CVM World

My Work Placement at CVM World

Hi, I’m Ben and this is a look back at by employment placement at CVM World. As a third-year student at Derby University, studying Business management, I feel like I have gained a lot through academic teaching and learning the theories, but I felt I needed practical work experience to go hand in hand to further my knowledge.

I approached CVM World, a second stage motor vehicle manufacturer who take new panel vans pre-loved vehicles and convert them into customer ready minibuses, welfare vans and campervans to customers specific wants and needs.

Hoping that they had a placement for me, I met with Paul the operating director who kindly offered me work experience once a week within the business, starting off with shadowing the marketing team throughout the different aspects of their role. This blog will describe my first three-week experience within the business.

Our Welfare Fleet Explained!

Our Welfare Van Hire Fleet consists of Peugeot Boxer Welfare vans.

Take a look at our:

Peugeot Boxer Welfare Van For Hire

As a Welfare hire vehicle (sometimes known as Mess Van) our Peugeot Welfare Vans are a great platform for employee transport and facilities combined. We offer a range of Hire periods which are suited to those working on short to long term contracts.

Our Hire Welfare Vans are ideals for those who either need to bolster their fleet with additional vehicles without the need for permanent investment or require a Welfare Van purely for the duration of the contract

We’ve equipped our Welfare Vans for hire with Chapter 8 compliant livery. This means our vans are fitted with reflective strips along the side of the vehicle and Chevrons on the rear. It’s an important factor to consider when looking to Hire a Welfare Vehicle as not all have this signwriting fitted. It is however a legal requirement should your workforce be working on the UKs Highways and the vehicle be in a stationary position.

When is Chapter 8 Livery Required:

Roadworks
Traffic Management
Breakdown Repair & Recovery
Groundworks
Road Sweeping
Roadside Tree Work

This isn’t exhaustive and it’s best to check prior to agreeing to a Welfare Vehicle Hire, whether you’ll need to have Chapter 8 Livery.

What can you expect from our Hire Welfare Vans:
VOSA tested seating for up to 7 people
Unisex toilet
Hot and cold-water supply
Canteen facilities with sink, microwave, and cooking area
Boiling water supply
Air extraction units
Bespoke storage facilities

We’ve also fitted our Welfare Hire Vehicles with Towbars and Rhino Steps. Though minor additions to a Welfare Vehicle they do provide great benefits.

Having a Welfare Van on hire with towing capabilities will assist in transporting equipment to and around site. Equally the Rhino step aides in the on and off boarding of the workforce, a benefit that shouldn’t be understated when looking to avoid slips, trips and falls on a worksite.

Short-Term Welfare Van Hire!

Require a Welfare Van on short-term hire to fulfil a contract or replace a damaged fleet vehicle. We offer short-term rental through our sister company CVM World Rentals.

Funding For ULEZ Compliant Vans

We all know that operating a fleet can be a costly experience, van maintenance, operating license, fuel cards, insurance.

Complying to LEZ and Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) is the simplest way to avoid the additional charge for vans, minibuses, campervans operating in active LEZ and ULEZ areas.

The great news is to support operators some cities like Greater Manchester have secured funding to support businesses.
