\"Aquaflow

Aquaflow’s two new Sprinters — a gold Sprinter 314 CDI and a replica of the firm’s original van, a 1999 Sprinter 310D<\/p><\/div>\n

When long-serving Aquaflow drainage engineer Neil George returns his vans at the end of a three-year replacement cycle, they are — in the words of boss Keith Borrett:<\/p>\n

invariably as clean as the day he took delivery, if not cleaner<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a reward for taking such good care of his equipment, Neil has been allocated a one-off gold Sprinter, which is the firm’s 100th Mercedes-Benz van. This striking vehicle is fitted with black alloy wheels and a personal registration, MY 100 TH.<\/p>\n

The new van has been fitted with a high-performance jetting machine for clearing blocked drains.<\/p>\n

To celebrate its long relationship with vans beating the three-pointed star, Aquaflow has also acquired and restored a first-generation 1999 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, which is now an exact replica of the firm’s first ever Mercedes van.<\/p>\n

Nearly 20 years later, the company now runs a fleet of 45 vans, of which 35 are Mercedes. Managing Director Mr Borrett describes the Sprinter as\u00a0“the foundation stone on which we’ve grown the company”<\/em> and comments that out-of-hours servicing and great reliability means the vans are\u00a0“always available for work when we need them”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Aquaflow operates from a head office in Canterbury and a depot in Erith. It provides a comprehensive portfolio of plumbing, drainage, pump, tanker and mechanical services, as well as undertaking excavations and CCTV surveys.<\/p>\n
