Sapphire Vehicle Services and Rightech Host Successful Customer Engagement Day in Basingstoke

Sapphire Vehicle Services, in proud partnership with Rightech, was delighted to welcome customers to a vibrant and insightful Customer Engagement Day at our Basingstoke depot!

Blessed with glorious sunshine, the event brought together industry professionals and valued clients for a day of innovation, connection, and hands-on experiences. Customers were given an exclusive look into the latest advancements in Sapphire’s Vehicle Services workshops, and the all-new Rightec Electric Truck! 

Our customers had the opportunity to tour the Sapphire depot and workshops, gaining a behind-the-scenes look at how our operations come together to deliver industry-leading fleet maintenance. Customers were particularly impressed by the professionalism, organisation, and cleanliness of the working environment — reinforcing their confidence in the high standards with which our client’s fleets are maintained.

A major highlight of the day was the opportunity for our customers to ride and drive the Rightect Electric truck — an experience that sparked excitement and left many smiling faces across the depot! The feedback from this latest electric innovation within the transport industry was nothing but positive; this new EV left customers excited for the future to come for electric technology.

Throughout the day, our expert teams showcased the future of sustainable transport and the role Sapphire Vehicle Services and Rightech are playing in leading the EV transition. Our customers praised the event’s engaging atmosphere and left glowing feedback, noting both the valuable insights gained and the chance to directly engage with the vehicles and technology shaping tomorrow’s logistics.

Sapphire Vehicle Services would like to thank all those who attended, and we look forward to continuing driving the future of commercial vehicle support together with our partners.

The event marked an important milestone in Sapphire Vehicle Services’ commitment to customer partnership, operational excellence, and the latest innovation. As we continue to grow and evolve alongside our partners, days like this reaffirm the strength of our relationships and the shared vision we have for a smarter, cleaner, and more connected future in commercial transport. The chance to get behind the wheel of the Rightech electric truck was a standout moment, giving customers a real sense of the power, performance, and potential of zero-emission commercial transport — a hands-on experience that brought the future of fleet mobility to life.
