Bringing live music and vehicle servicing together – no really!

You know that nothing stays still here at Anchor Vans, with used van websites and vehicle servicing offerings being launched regularly. However, our latest innovation is something that no-one has expected: live piano music in our vehicle servicing workshop.

We have recruited a professional pianist to come into the workshop every Wednesday afternoon to play music for our vehicle servicing technicians as they work. Sound bizarre? A little, yes. Sound crazy? Well… it actually makes a lot of sense to us.

The workplace environment has a huge impact on staff morale, productivity and even rates of absence. Whilst Anchor Vans is a hard working but cheery place, we felt there was definitely a need for something special to carry our great service technicians through these dark winter months. Our Sales Director, Simon Joyce, temporarily brought a piano to the site to make some room at home, then he had this idea and the piano has been here ever since.

The technicians are enjoying it so much that we’re even thinking about having an open day one Wednesday afternoon so our vehicle servicing customers and the generally curious can come along and listen too. We’ll keep you posted!
