Hi Ian. You are right, you shouldn’t complain about being busy. It’s a good sign as your business is growing and the longer you are the only employee drawing off it the better. Upgrading to a bigger van can be the first step and carry stock on it as a mobile sales van especially when doing detail and installation jobs. Make an extra stop or two on the way there and back. This will save on postage, and deliver when you can as it will also increase sales and build strong relationships. Possibly work a route out whilst traveling to a specific job. Add storage to the back wall of the garage, buy in bulk to get bigger discounts if the cash flow allows it. As a guess you may be looking at a self contained pressure washer for detailing? If so rather the purchasing another vehicle use an enclosed trailer to tow behind the new van or the Citroen. Perhaps you should keep Barry and put the trailer behind that as necessary and it can be your regular van as well. Better the motor you know and he is specced right. Ever thought about sign writing the business name and services on the new van? Great advertising. Just a few ideas from a retired, bored old fart. 😢😀👍🏴🇺🇸 I wish you continued success.👍
Hi ian i totally agree with you on the mirror blind spot issue iv a Peugeot partner van and i would say they are highly dangerous i cant understand why there isn't a blind spot mirror below the main mirror. The ford connect used to have this blind spot mirror but they have got rid of it in the new vans. I think they should be compulsory on all van mirrors.
I had a two week stay at the Dubliner Sport Hotel , for work , back in the eighties. Is it still there Ian ? I remember they relied on American tourists back in the day .

Hey ian. Great to see you nice and busy. For a new van would it be a Renault traffic red edition.. 😊
Do drive a long wheel based version and I agree with the blind spot and power issue other than that it's a good van
A long wheel base renault maybe or a big crafter / sprinter
Ahh Barry! Those alloys look deadly!
An electric yoke ! 😂 poor Barry bye bye.
