COVER STORY
A Golden Opportunity
WAV manufacturer Brotherwood tell us about their new scheme aimed at providing care homes and services a simple, affordable way to fund and drive a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle, or fleet, of their own.
For many care providers and care homes, providing transport for the elderly and less mobile can be a difficult proposition. Outsourcing transportation to taxi or bus companies can be expensive and inflexible, whilst purchasing, running and maintaining a fleet of vehicles can be hard to budget for. Other obstacles such as staff training, making sure you have the right driving license, and other fleet management issues can make day trips and essential trips a headache for carers.
Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle manufacturer Brotherwood, have recently announced a new scheme, aimed at providing care homes and services a simple, affordable way

to fund and drive a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle, or fleet, of their own. Working in partnership with Contract Hire specialist providers LVC Mobility, the exciting new partnership combines over 50 years of specialist experience to offer affordable finance packages small or large businesses in need of high quality, wheelchair- friendly transport.
For many small businesses, care homes and community transport organisations, the cost of purchasing a new Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) outright can often be prohibitive. Adapting a vehicle to carry a wheelchair user can add a premium to the usual price of a vehicle, making a WAV an expensive purchase for many
carers. However, where previously a one-off purchase would have been the prevalent funding option for most, LVC’s new Contract Hire package offers an affordable solution. With a low initial outlay and fixed, tax-allowable monthly rentals all that is required to run a high quality, easy-to-use wheelchair car for an agreed period from 24 to 60 months. Small businesses in particular will benefit from the easy cash-flow budgeting that a fixed monthly payment can provide.
For further peace of mind and easy budgeting, a full maintenance package can be included in the monthly rental, eliminating any unforeseen costs and ensuring accurate and predictable cash-flow.
