Co-op Brings Binz to South West

Plymouth and South West Co-operative Funeral Society has taken delivery of no fewer than eight new Binz vehicles to modernise its fleet.  The deal builds on the coachbuilder's long-standing links with organisations within the Co-operative movement that go back to the late 1970s. The 3 hearses and 5 limousines represent a major investment for the future at the Plymouth and South West Co-operative Society.

General manager Jack Walsh said, "From the moment I saw the first artists' impression of the Binz 5-door hearse I knew it was the future of hearse design. I was delighted to be among the first to order the Binz vehicles and our latest fleet compliments the exceptional classic lines of Mercedes Benz in Silver Metallic. This fleet is a real head turner and has been wonderfully received by the public."  

Once again the iF Design Forum award-winning Binz hearse has attracted the attention of a forward thinking management, who have been convinced to buy by the high build quality, the advanced safety standards and the support services offered by Binz.

Peter Smith, CEO of Binz UK stated, "Binz has rapidly become a well recognised brand in the funeral fleet market. The excellent flowing design of the hearses incorporating the perfect finish on the viewing glass, the quality of the craftsmanship that goes into creating each and every Binz product and the unique relationship that Binz has with Mercedes Benz ensures that we can offer a competency that is beyond compare.

"That all round ability to meet and maintain high standards is reflected in increasing sales, growing interest and a brand recognition that now has people asking for a Binz. Anyone specifying a high quality hearse or limousine can only logically end up asking for a Binz."
