Hurst drives
ahead with
new delivery
fleet
» » HURST PLASTICS HAS STOLEN
another march in the industry with a major
investment into a fleet of new delivery
vehicles.
The leading door panel and composite
door manufacturer has purchased 15 brand
new eco-friendly Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
vans as part of an ambitious £500,000
investment programme into company
vehicles. The move, which swiftly follows
the company’s investment into new vehicles
for its national sales team, will help Hurst
Plastics to further improve operational
efficiency and enhance customer service.
The Hurst Plastics fleet delivers
throughout the whole of the UK and
consistently maintains an on-time in-full
record of above 98.5%.
Each vehicle in the fleet is equipped
with Hurst Plastics’ sophisticated fleXipod
electronic proof of delivery system, which
provides Hurst’s customers with accurate,
real time information on their scheduled
deliveries.
Hurst’s fleXipod system seamlessly
integrates with the company’s Hurst Live
package - a complete solution which
provides customers with essential, live
information on every single order they
place. Hurst Live’s intelligent technology
enables customers to easily chart the
real-time status of their order from order
processing through to manufacture and
onto delivery. In conjunction with fleXipod,
it captures essential delivery recipient
information, including a signature for proof
of delivery.

precision crafting make it one of the best
PVC-U alternatives to traditional timber box
sash windows. Equal sash widths, traditional
ovolo styling on all planes, flush gaskets, a deep
bottom rail and a 128mm frame all ensure
authentic aesthetics. Dedicated end caps and
cills plus optional features such as a weather bar
or Georgian bars enable the addition of bespoke
features. And with a mechanically jointed
option, the authentic aesthetics of the window
can go to the next level.
Authentic details, but the Spectus VS is
a 21st century window, available in the 28
colours of Spectus’ Spectrum range (including
10 stock colours). Easy to open thanks to the
spiral balance mechanism, travel stops ensure
child safety. It can achieve a WER of A+ and
a U value of 1.3W/m2K, is PAS24 compliant
and designed to achieve SBD status. For
installers, it has 150mm and 210mm cills
and 10mm/20mm/50mm frame packers for
maximum flexibility.
