Consistency and Confidence for Brewing and Beverage Fleets
Contract hire isn’t new, but Vertellus does it differently. Backed by Renault Trucks and its dealer network, Vertellus provides full-service contract hire with a focus on keeping fleets running reliably, whether diesel or electric, across the UK.
Brewing and beverage operators face unique pressures. Fuel costs remain high, clean air zones are expanding, and the move toward electric vehicles is accelerating. Yet delivery schedules, cold chain requirements, and customer commitments can’t pause. Vertellus exists to reduce that uncertainty.
“Our customers don’t want promises, they want confidence that their vehicles will be ready when needed and that costs are predictable,” says Commercial Director Rhian Burrell.
Why Vertellus?
What sets Vertellus apart is its fully owned network. While many contract hire providers rely on third parties for financing, servicing, and parts, Vertellus controls its own support network. That means manufacturer-trained technicians, genuine parts, and consistent service standards across the UK. For brewing and beverage fleets delivering across multiple regions, that consistency is critical.
What about electrification?
Electrification is increasingly relevant for beverage distribution, but each fleet’s journey is unique. Burrell explains, “Some breweries and distributors are trialling electric trucks today; others are planning a gradual transition. We evaluate routes, depots, and loads to ensure the right solution—whether diesel or EV—with full support.”
Through Renault Trucks, Vertellus has early access to the latest low- and zero-emission technology, ensuring operators can transition confidently. “When fleets are ready to move to electric, we already have proven solutions and manufacturer-backed support to keep vehicles on the road,” says Burrell.
Consistent support, with a renewed identity
With a refreshed brand identity, Vertellus is more ambitious than ever. The new look reflects its strengths: a fully owned network, consistent nationwide support, and practical, reliable contract hire solutions. For breweries and beverage distributors, Vertellus ensures deliveries keep flowing, whatever the future holds.
