Vanaways Powers Vanr’s Nationwide Delivery Growth with Reliable New Fleet
London, UK – 19th November 2025 – Vanaways has proudly partnered with Vanr Limited, a fast-growing same-day and last-mile delivery specialist, to supply a new fleet of high-quality commercial vehicles designed to keep operations running smoothly and efficiently — especially during the busiest periods in the delivery calendar.
This strategic collaboration has helped Vanr improve service reliability, enhance driver safety, and scale its operations to meet increasing demand from some of the UK’s largest e-commerce and business-to-business clients.
A Family Business Driven by Experience
Vanr, founded and operated by brothers Nathan and Fabian Batchelor, is a family-run logistics business specialising in multi-drop, same-day, and last-mile delivery across London and the wider UK. With over 20 years of combined experience in the logistics sector, the Batchelor brothers bring both operational expertise and hands-on courier insight to the business. The duo understands the importance of dependable vehicles in maintaining service quality and meeting client expectations.
“When we first started Vanr, we were running older vans that would break down often, disrupting operations and customer expectations,” explained Nathan Batchelor, Co-Founder and Director at Vanr.
“Working with Vanaways transformed our business. Their vehicles are reliable, the process is seamless, and the support we receive allows us to meet our clients’ demands even during peak periods.”
Reliability that Drives Business Forward
Through Business Development Director Liam Nicholas, Vanaways was able to source and deliver a full fleet of Citroën, Peugeot, and Vauxhall vans that matched VanR’s precise, operational requirements. They ensured excellent value, low running costs, and quick lead times — even during the demanding Christmas peak period of 2024.
Nathan continued: “I approached Liam needing five vehicles initially. Within weeks, that number grew to over 45, and Vanaways managed to deliver — all within a six-week turnaround. Their responsiveness and pricing were unmatched. Every time another supplier tried to match their quote, Liam went one better.”
These new vans now power Vanr’s growing fleet, helping the company handle peak delivery volumes and ensuring uptime across its UK routes. For Vanr, fleet reliability goes hand in hand with business continuity — and Vanaways continues to provide both, supporting major contracts with leading e-commerce and business-to-business clients across London.
Supporting Drivers and Enhancing Safety
For Vanr, reliable vans aren’t just about operational efficiency – they’re also about driver satisfaction and supporting the people behind the wheel.
As a company founded by experienced couriers, Vanr prides itself on understanding driver needs, from fair pay and safety to comfortable, well-equipped vehicles.
“The drivers love the vans,” said Fabian Batchelor, Co-Founder and Operations Director.
“They’re brand new, smooth to drive, and packed with great features — Apple and Android CarPlay, comfortable seating, and modern infotainment. Vanaways even includes a comprehensive fleet pack with every van: seat covers, mats, safety triangles, extinguishers, and high-vis vests – all branded with our logo. That attention to detail keeps our drivers safe and our vehicles in top condition.”
This level of care has made a significant impact not just on operational efficiency but also on morale across VanR’s driver network, many of whom have been with the business for over five years.
Exceptional Service and Aftercare
Beyond delivering vehicles, Vanaways continues to impress Vanr with its five-star aftercare and ongoing support.
“If there’s ever an issue, Vanaways resolves it straight away,” said Nathan. “They don’t pass the problem back to us — they take ownership. That’s rare in this industry, and it’s why we continue to trust them.”
Liam Nicholas, Business Development Director at Vanaways, commented:
“It’s been a pleasure working with Nathan and Fabian. They understand the logistics challenges operators face, and we understand the importance of fleet uptime. Together, we’ve built a partnership that keeps their business moving.”
Finance Growth for the Future
The expansion of Vanr’s fleet was made possible through a collaborative effort between Vanaways and Adam Cooper at Simply Asset Finance, who facilitated the credit line and funding needed to make the project possible.
“Without Adam and Liam, we simply couldn’t have scaled so quickly,” Nathan added. “Their combined effort gave us the confidence to invest in new vehicles and continue growing nationwide.”
Looking ahead, Vanr plans to add up to 60 more vehicles by 2026, with Vanaways confirmed as their preferred supplier.
“As long as Liam is with Vanaways, we won’t be going anywhere else,” Nathan said. “It’s been a partnership built on trust, honesty, and performance.”
Looking Ahead: Transitioning to Electric Vehicles
While Vanr’s current fleet is primarily diesel, the company is preparing for a transition toward electric vehicles as infrastructure develops across the UK.
“Electric vehicles are definitely the future said Fabian. “Once there’s better charging infrastructure in London – especially for drivers living in flats or housing estates – we’ll be moving toward electric vans. And when we do, we’ll be turning to Vanaways to make that happen.”
A Partnership That Delivers
For Vanr, reliability, integrity, and understanding are the foundations of long-term growth — and their partnership with Vanaways continues to deliver all three.
“Fleet reliability equals everything for us,” Nathan concluded. “Without reliable vehicles, we can’t serve our clients — and that’s why we rely on Vanaways.”
