OGILVIE Construction has just taken delivery of 30 new Ford Transit vans.

“It’s part of our commitment to invest in plant and machinery to deliver the very best for our customers,” said managing director Phil McEwan.

“During this downturn, some companies are cutting back on renewing vehicles and other essential equipment to do the job. We think this can be a false economy.”

The new vans will replace existing Ford Transits in the Ogilvie Construction fleet – which totals 200 vehicles.
