Scottish Borders MP Calum Kerr has praised the “inspirational” work of the Borders based brain injury charity Heads Together, after celebrating the arrival of their brand new bespoke minibus.

The new Red Kite Minibus was delivered last week to the charity’s headquarters in Hawick after a successful fundraising campaign to raise £37,000.

Speaking at a celebration to “cut the ribbon” on the new bus, Mr Kerr, who also acts as Patron of Heads Together, told us:

“It was a delight to join with volunteers and service users at Heads Together to celebrate this great step forward.”

After successfully setting up their new, bigger, premises in Hawick it’s important that they have managed to build on that success [...]

Great service, we will always use Red Kite for our minibus needs. Big thanks to the sales team.As always, great service.We have been buying minibuses from you since 1993. I think this shows how we value the service you provide.

For many organisations, the need for a small team of mobile onsite support staff is an essential part of the service they provide their clients. Workers need adequate toilet and washing facilities, a place to warm up and eat their food and somewhere to store clothing. However, these basic requirements are often neglected. A cold water tap and chemical toilet on their own are not adequate facilities. Good facilities can positively benefit health and well-being and can help to prevent dermatitis.

With the assistance of our experienced team, we can manufacture a tailor made Crewtility Support Vehicle specifically built to meet your organisation's needs.

The URBIE range of mobile outreach vehicles are individually designed to meet a given criteria; they are built to withstand the typical environment they are subjected to on a daily basis and can function independently in rural communities or inner city streets, offering a wider service to where they are most needed.

URBIE has been built on a smaller range of minibus sized vans to help save on driver training expenses and additional licences, designed to deliver community services and support facilities within the vehicle through the creation of informal communal areas and classrooms as well as privacy zones if required.

We received good advice on the best minibus for our particular requirement and were offered a choice of finance options to purchase. Manufacture, finance and delivery have been with one single supplier, even servicing is covered. I would certainly recommend talking to specialist minibus suppliers as their experience and expertise can save you time and money.I felt a great degree of security in buying from a large company who specialised in supply minibuses to schools. Confidence in the company was further enhanced when you were willing to bring the vehicle up to Derby for us to have a look at it. Both ourselves and more importantly the engineer from Derby City Fleet management were impressed with the quality of the vehicle both in terms of the mechanics and the bodywork.Thank you for organising the service, MOT and valet on the school minibus. I arrived slightly late, due to a road closure but your staff were so accommodating and helpful. The bus was finished earlier than expected, for which I was grateful and returned in a spotless condition. The Peugeot is a super vehicle and well appreciated by both the staff and pupils. Again thanks to all at Red Kite.
