About Us

More Than A Van Dealer

We're on a mission to change the way people think about electric vans.

Our Story

Electric Van Man was created because the used electric van market needed people focused on the benefits — and willing to properly support the right vehicle for the right job.

Too many businesses want to explore electric vans but struggle to find clear information, independent advice and trusted used vehicle specialists.

At the same time, thousands of perfectly capable electric vans are entering the used market, with very few dedicated outlets capable of explaining their value.

We understand the fit may not be right for you yet, and the last thing we want is a negative story out there because the wrong vehicle has been provided. Whilst we are only electric, we'll wait until the time is right to provide you with a vehicle if we need to.

We're here to make the change simple, efficient and effective.

Meet Paul Kirby & Family
Paul Kirby & family

Known across the industry as Electric Van Man, Paul has spent years helping fleets understand the realities of electric commercial vehicles.

His approach is simple: objective, benefit-focused reviews that give people the information they need to make the right decision — even if that decision means not buying an electric van today.

As a family, we aim to build a business on a foundation of honesty and openness — one that gives back. As we grow, we hope to invest in helping those on the edges into employment, providing training and development opportunities.

This builds on the journey Paul himself went on: having been through the care system in the early 80s, leaving school with no qualifications and graduating to a significant brush with the law. It took people taking "a punt" on him — and now it's time to pay it forward.

Joined by his wife Caroline and children Joel, Rachel and Jaden, the family shares the same mindset: making a difference one vehicle and one person at a time.

We will leave something better behind…
