A Mansfield auction house has seen the number of commercial vehicles sold this year surpass any other, which can be put down to the current economic climate. So far this year the auction house has sold £4.2 million worth of commercial vehicle, which is a total of 1,620 vans. This number of vehicles sold so far this year has already smashed last years total that goes to show that we Britain's are tough when it comes to loosing our jobs.
The recession has seen a high rise in the number of construction workers being made redundant, which in most cases would leave those workers sitting at home on the doll. But the figures shown by the auction house tells us that instead of this the workers are getting a van of their own and looking for their own work. The UK still has work to offer in the construction industry, but it is up to us to go and find it, which is exactly what these workers are doing.
