I had pretty much the same, I was slightly more bashed up perhaps, but 4 solid witnesses (including a lawyer), car reg, cctv up the road etc.
Police did nothing. I called them at the scene and they didn't attend. They eventually wrote to the registered keeper, who said they had lent the car to a visitor from Ireland, but didn't have their details. They then said they sold it, so couldn't say who the driver was. That was the end of the police involvement.
I ended up with a written off bike, broken helmet, smashed glasses, plenty of injuries that needed 6-9 months of physio (blasted shoulder injury in particular) and the driver got off scott free.
.
I thought it was 'an open and shut case guv', but the advice I had on here the day after was to have very low expectations of the police effort and it turned out to be right, unfortunately.
Good luck though, it actually sounds like with it being a company van that you might get some the right outcome, even if that is just a bit of money for your kit, or some physio if needed.
