Reinvigorating the High Street with your Minibus

25 July 2019

​The British high-street was once the buzzing central hub of towns and cities up and down the country. Statistically, in 2017 there were an estimated 10.3 million people, 16% of the British population who lived within 200 metres of a high street. Shockingly, 2,481 stores, banks and other high street businesses disappeared from Britain’s top 500 locations. In 2018 there were 40% more shop closures than in 2017.

Us Brits have always loved a shop around together on the weekend, but with the rise of technology reaching an astonishing rate, it’s becoming harder and harder to support your local businesses where you live. If you are part of a charity which operates in the community, utilising a minibus as part of your assets can be a useful tool to improve trade for your institution, and bring much needed excitement back to the British high street.

Why not bring all those innovative ideas for charitable fundraising to your local high street, set up a stall and drive traffic to both your good causes, and the dedicated retailers we all want to see back to their best? At Marshall Minibus, we can advise you on the best criteria of your minibus, allowing you to get the very best value for money in the industry. The better your assets and the work you put in, the more you’ll get out of it.

Our prestige and experience also allow us to provide the charity and care home sector with reliable, responsible and economically valuable minibuses. Typically, our clients lease vehicles under a contract hire arrangement with an all-inclusive service package. We will help you to remain compliant with current legislation and ensure that regular inspections and services are carried out in a timely and efficient manner, keeping vehicle down-time to a minimum.
