Louth motor dealership donates van to support life‑saving NHS courier charity

Drayton Motors has generously donated a new Maxus Deliver 9 van to Lincolnshire Emergency Blood Bikers Service to help with their work.

The official handover took place on Tuesday (January 20) at the Kia Louth dealership, where Gareth Grasham, Group Sales Manager at RJTK Automotive, presented the vehicle to the LEBBS team.

This significant donation will see the van become the charity’s primary events vehicle for 2026 and beyond, representing the charity at shows and public engagements across the region. Fully liveried and equipped for operational use, the vehicle can also be deployed for operational duties, including acting as a recovery unit for the fleet of motorcycles when required.

The support provided by Drayton Motors plays a vital role in enabling the charity’s volunteers to continue delivering critical services to the NHS. In 2025 alone, their fleet travelled 204,000 miles and transported 2,978 items free of charge throughout Lincolnshire and beyond. Operations often include delivering urgent, life‑saving items across the entire county — efforts made possible only through the dedication of our 150 volunteers and a fleet of 19 vehicles.

LEBBS chairman, Neville Wright said: “This generous donation from Drayton Motors will make a meaningful difference to the work we do every day. The Maxus Deliver 9 strengthens both our operational capability and our visibility within the community.

"We are incredibly grateful for this support, which directly enhances our ability to serve the NHS and deliver life‑saving items across the county. Our volunteers rely on safe and reliable vehicles, and this donation will allow us to continue providing an exceptional service free of charge.”
