Herd Group marks 10th anniversary and eyes future plans

Herd Group celebrated a decade of expansion, transforming from a small daily rental operation with approximately 100 vans and a single Surrey location into a nationwide B2B enterprise with franchise offerings throughout the United Kingdom.

Founded in 2014 by CEO Nigel Schroder with a consumer-focused model, the company's branding originated creatively: "It all started with our Vanimals, the wraps we add to our B2C fleet, with each Vanimal denoting the size of the van."

The organisation expanded its service offerings by launching Herd Connect, delivering integrated fleet management solutions across multiple fleets. This year brought the introduction of Herd Synergy, consolidating the company's fleet solutions - encompassing management, rental, and remarketing - under a unified brand.

Looking ahead, the company anticipates welcoming new franchises within the next 24 months.

"We simply do not stand still; in order to be the best, we have to keep pushing, developing and growing."

Nigel Schroder, CEO

"From top to bottom we genuinely have a passion for Customer CARE. It's not just a department, it's every single person in our team."

Nigel Schroder, CEO

"We've got some great partners, absolutely fantastic customers and a brilliant, brilliant team. I simply can't wait to see what the next 10 years holds!"
