    I have a full driving licence and it says I can drive category B & W. Am I covered to drive one of these?

    Yes...
    Vehicles (other than motorcycles, mopeds, work vehicles or land tractors) having a MAM1 not exceeding 3,500 kg, designed and constructed for the carriage of no more than eight passengers in addition to the driver.

    The vehicle may tow a trailer (a) where the MAM of the trailer is not greater than 750 kg or (b) where the MAM of the trailer exceeds 750kg the combined MAM of the towing vehicle and the trailer is not greater than 3,500 kg.

    Quadricycles (other than those covered by AM) are also covered by this category.

    For insurance purposes your car policy is very unlikely to cover you driving a commercial vehicle, double check this if unsure.

    If the OP is getting a GoCar they will be fine. If hiring their insurance won't cover unless they have another commercial policy to transfer over.
