As the UK’s number one brand for containers that store and secure tools in vehicles[1], Van Vault has already invested significantly in its marketing activity this year. The brand has invested in understanding how end-users buy. Research showed initial online research is done to look for product information, but visibility in-store is essential as customers want to actually see the product before purchasing in-store.
The independent market research also showed that Van Vault is still the first brand that comes to mind, as is mentioned nearly twice as much as any other competitors without being prompted. Out of the 14 brands mentioned, Van Vault proved to be the leader in spontaneous awareness.

The brand offers a range of eight vehicle storage products, each designed for use in different types of vehicles, as well as a selection of on-site secure storage which are stocked by a range of distributors across the UK.
