Hopefully by now you’ve enjoyed browsing our website and you can see that we have a high degree of pride and passion in the vans that we sell. The pinnacle of any sale is when we hand a vehicle across to its new keeper and bid farewell as it heads off to earn its keep in its new role. Here are some recent images of the handover process.
Good people deal with good people ….John R was taking the big step of going into self employment . Its a huge step for anyone and a move that we hugely respect. All the best for the future John and thanks for a million for the business . You were a pleasure to have as a customer .
Old school loyalty and reciprocal business goes a long way … Douglas of Rockwood has been our chosen contractor for all our yard monoblock cleaning and washing duties for some years now. In the name of loyalty he reciprocated and chose us to supply his new van . We are huge fans of reciprocal business and its a lovely way to operate in this fast moving business age.
There is always a crazy scramble for our ‘no vat’ vans and invariably there are winner and losers …. Tony D was the lucky man in this instance and managed to secure our latest VW Cady van with NO VAT ! Tony bought his last van from us 5+ years ago and had no hesitation about coming back to us . He saved over £1000 by buying his vat exempt van from us . Lucky boy !
Mr Boyd from Gairloch travelled a long way to find the right van for his bespoke timer furniture business. Wester-ross Woodwork produce some outstanding hand made timber furniture and we wish him all the success for the future . Great to see the tradition crafts thriving !
Here is yet another demonstration of the huge diversity of our van customers ….Oliver M from Belfast bought his Transit Custom from us over the ‘phone (unseen) based on our glowing online reviews. He is using the van as a mobile soup kitchen for the unfortunates of Belfast . I cant think of a van sale in recent years that has demonstrated such a generous act of human kindness to others. God bless you.
Calum Y of Aberlour, Aberdeenshire bought his van unseen over the phone . Calum had visited our site a number of times and was familiar with the calibre of vans that we sell and after a few phone conversations he was happy to pay a deposit on the van. This is a level of trust that we always fully respect and Calum certainly wasn’t disappointed when he collected the black Transit Jumbo recently. Many thanks Calum – it was a pleasure dealing with you 🙂
Mountain bike mad Miles decided to upgrade to a larger van as he rises through the ranks of Scottish downhill mountain biking ….. he is delighted he chose Clarksons and so are we ! His current van (VW Caddy) was just too small for the sport he loves so he decided to move to a Transit SWB medium roof which is an all round better fit for his sport. A lovely guy and a pleasure t6o deal with . Best of luck for the coming season !
Jerry L. from Easterhouse Glasgow is another one of our hugely respected customers that is taking the leap into self employment . Jerry we wish you all the luck in the world and please keep us updated (or pop in for a coffee) and let us know how the venture is going
Iain M worked for a company that used to hire vans from ourselves and when Iain made the leap to self employment he know where to come for his new Transit van. Iain was a brilliant customer to work with and we wish him all the very best in his new venture . All the best from Clan Clarkson !
Andrew P from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire decided the time was right to upgrade to a larger van for his garden maintenance business . He really did come up trumps as this van fitted the bill and in addition had no vat to be added to the price of the van meaning a cash saving. Happy, man, happy van and cash in his pocket ! Its a win win situation !

Many thanks John – happy towing !

Its always great to see so many repeat customers – who in fairness are more like friends now !
We sell them far we sell them wide ….. Steve Ibbotson from North Humberside travelled up to us on sunny Sunday morning to collect his 2015 Renault Master LWB. Steve saved an absolute fortune as the van was free of vat and saved a whopping 20% in the process. Steve and his wife Vanessa were an absolute delighted to deal with and we can honestly say it was a pleasure having them as a customer. Lovely people, lovely vans = happy dealings 🙂
A joiner, a brick layer and a stone mason … there must be a joke in there somewhere ! This is a few shots from this weeks van handovers. It highlights perfectly the cross section of our customer base. We love nothing more than smiling happy customers … we enjoy a laugh as well 🙂
We are always delighted to get business on recommendation and we get lots ! ………we love ALL our customers but this is probably our biggest ‘pat on the back’. This is Lesley Fitzsimmons of Altech Heating and Cooling Solutions Limited of Kilsyth collecting her lovely Renault Kangoo with very low mileage and rear racking system . Referred to us by a regular van hire customer .
Stuart Higgins of Barrhead Glasgow kindly bought his last van from us some years ago, and as time moved on he decided to upgrade to a larger van. Having a brief look around our competitors he had no hesitation in hurrying back to us because in his words ‘ I know what I’m getting with Clarksons – no waffle & great vans’ .
Put simply we love what we do ……. we are ‘van people’ through and through all based around our focussed family business (established by David Clarkson in June 1978) . We also love meeting customers old and new and here is a very brief handover snapshot of a busy day at camp Clarkson ……
After years of good service from his trusty 10 year old Transit David decided it was time for a change of workhorse. Moving across to a Peugeot Boxer L3H2 Professional I’m sure he’ll be delighted with what it has to offer. Being a local joiner , people like David are an excellent advertisement for our company as we get a vast amount of business via word of mouth . That’s why we only sell great vans backed up by great service ! Thanks again David your business is hugely appreciated – Barry
Here we have Mr & Mrs McBurney of Dunoon taking delivery of there 2012 Nissan NV200 ….. we received a delightful thank you letter from Mrs McBurney as a note of thanks for the service she received from Clarksons and stating how delighted she was with the van . Thanks you so much – we love our customers !

I always say that good people deal with good people and this certainly is the case here . Alex recently bought his 2014 Nissan Navara from us here at Clarksons and its fair to say he was a pleasure and a delight to deal with .
