Air conditioning specialist Bartorelli chooses bott Exeter

When Bartorelli Ltd invested in nine new Renault Trafic L2 vans for its mobile service engineers, it needed a storage solution capable of supporting demanding work across the refrigeration, catering and air conditioning sectors. Having heard about bott's reputation, the Devon-based business chose bott's new Conversion Centre in Exeter to fit out its growing fleet with high-quality equipment. In addition to its reputation, Bartorelli was impressed by the company's competitive pricing, modern facilities and professional approach.

Bartorelli worked closely with the bott team to create a tailored layout to suit its engineers' daily needs. Using bott's CAD design process, every tool, part and piece of equipment was given a secure, accessible place to improve organisation and protect valuable stock.

The fleet was fitted with bott vario3, bott's premium van racking system, designed to maximise storage space while remaining lightweight, durable and built to withstand the demands of everyday use.

The build quality is exceptional; it’s a robust, intelligent solution that genuinely reflects the standards we hold at Bartorelli

Martin Sanders, Business Development Manager, Bartorelli

Before the new conversions, engineers spent valuable time searching for equipment inside poorly organised vans. The new bott fit-outs have transformed daily productivity by making essential tools easy to find, helping engineers work more efficiently and spend more time on the job instead of searching for tools.

We were losing too much time to poor organisation. With our newly convert vans, the efficiency gains are immediate.

A well-organised van not only benefits engineers but also creates confidence with customers from the moment they arrive on site.

Martin stated:

From a business development perspective, having a professional, organised mobile workspace completely changes the impression we leave with clients.

Not only can bott transform the inside of a vehicle, but we also offer bespoke vehicle graphics to complete the professional look. Our in-house decal service includes custom design, high-quality printing and expert installation, helping businesses maximise brand visibility and create a strong, lasting first impression wherever their fleet travels.

Creating a professional first impression

We're delighted to have worked with Bartorelli on the conversion of their new fleet. The Exeter Conversion Centre was created to give businesses across the South West region access to bott's high-quality vehicle conversion expertise, backed by a local team that understands the importance of service, communication and keeping vehicles on the road. It's fantastic to see the positive difference these conversions are already making to Bartorelli's engineers and their day-to-day operations.

Tim Cutler, Regional General Manager - Exeter Conversion Centre, bott UK

Keeping vehicles on the road was a key priority throughout the project. bott worked closely with Bartorelli to coordinate the installations while maintaining clear communication at every stage.

James said:

When you’re managing a fleet, the biggest challenge is downtime. bott understood this from day one. Working with their team was straightforward and professional; they handled the logistics of the fit-out with impressive speed without cutting a single corner.

Reducing fleet downtime

Having bott's dedicated Conversion Centre in Exeter made the project even more convenient for Bartorelli, who valued the local support, efficient service and regular communication throughout the installation process. The air conditioning company praised bott for its highly efficient process and the excellent customer support provided by the Exeter team.

The benefits of a local team in Exeter

The completed fleet provides Bartorelli with organised, durable and professional mobile workspaces that support its engineers every day. They commented:

Our experience with bott Exeter has been extremely positive from start to finish. We would certainly recommend them to others.
