PRESS INFORMATION FROM BINZ (UK) LTD. Vito Choice Vindicated By Squires With a 70 year tradition of service, funeral directors Walter H. Squires and Son Ltd. of Tiverton, North Devon, are acutely conscious of the need to maintain the highest standards across all aspect of their business. Nowhere more so than perhaps at that most sensitive of times, when first taking someone's loved one into its care. Looking for transport that combined the discretion of an estate car with the all-round versatility of the traditional 'private ambulance', Walter H. Squires was intent on retaining the Mercedes integrity of the existing fleet. On examining the options available Ryan Squires settled on the Binz Vito. The Vito, at a casual glance, appears to be just another people carrier, yet the inside is fitted out as a first rate private ambulance with the needs of the UK and Eire funeral director very much to the fore. Although the interior of the vehicle will rarely be seen by anyone other than employees it was felt that it was essential to ensure that the image presented was no less dignified than that of a traditional hearse. All touches that help to cement an impression of respect and professionalism amongst care home and hospital staff who come into contact with the vehicle. Ryan Squires explained, "The Vito is equipped to the highest standard and the walnut veneer deck is a tidy feature and the hearse-quality brightwork, as are the multi-point tie downs. But the real benefit over the competition was the high standard of finish and the unobtrusive hydraulic rise and fall platform that gives full width and length decks." Coming from a manufacturer that produces the only E-Class extended hearses and limousines with full Mercedes-Benz engineering approval, attention to detail is essential. Binz UK sales director Kevin Smith commented, "The private ambulance may be in the background of the funeral operation, but it is an essential element in ensuring a dignified and trouble free removal. So we pay just as much attention to detail with the Vito as we do with the limousines or the hearses." "Dealing with Binz is a pleasant experience. They came highly recommended by all those who have dealt with them and they lived up to that reputation. It is good to work with a family business like our own, one which understands the needs and the pressures of a traditional business." Added Ryan Squires.
