Greenwood Supports Independent Suppliers

When Surrey-based Alan Greenwood decided to upgrade his fleet he made a conscious decision to buy from an independent supplier. Whilst building the business up, he had run - and still does - a variety of funeral vehicles, but "This time, I thought, I would give Binz a try."

Behind that casual-sounding statement, lies a purchase decision taken with more than the usual degree of care and consideration. Alan has been operating as an independent business for the past 11 years, starting out in Ewell and by offering a family-friendly service he has built a chain of 9, soon to be 11 offices across Surrey. Servicing that level of business, demands an exceptional level of reliability from any funeral fleet - and after-sales support that is second to none.

"I thought that as an independent I should be looking at sourcing my fleet from a good independent family run coachbuilder and without a doubt Binz fits that bill. As a family concern they understand my needs and they can relate to my business.

"The service that Binz offers is excellent and the quality of the vehicles is second to none. There really wasn't any real issue with buying the hearse and the limousines. Our future business will probably be with Binz. I like their cars and I like the ethos of their operation."

Alan Greenwood didn't just order the standard vehicle either, he had the hearse delivered with Binz's own CLS styling package fitted . This extra cost option now gives Greenwood a unique vehicle that is instantly recognisable, and which further differentiates the service from that of its local competitors.

With two fleets, one based at Kingston and the other at Send outside Woking, servicing the nine offices across Surrey, the Greenwood fleet is hard worked and Alan has already sampled the Binz service deal which he says offers the same level of maintenance as a main dealer but at a much more competitive price. Another selling point for Binz.

Peter Smith CEO of Binz added, "Binz is a family business and we believe that our family approach allows us to communicate better with our clients. It means that we fully understand the day-to-day problems and medium-term challenges that face the independent family-owned funeral director, and the measures we in turn need to take  to ensure complete customer satisfaction. Helping to grow Alan Greenwood's business in the future, is a part of that commitment"
