Commercial vehicle specialist MV Commercial has expanded into a multi-million pound ‘super site’ in Airdrie, which provides a new central hub for the company’s comprehensive nationwide range of commercial vehicle services.
The new eight-acre site, formerly operated by T.O.M. Vehicle Rental, gives MV Commercial a substantial upgrade to its sales, hire, leasing, finance, maintenance, engineering and painting facilities, now all under one roof. It includes 90,000 sq. ft of internal work space with multiple workshops featuring 36 commercial vehicle ramps, several HGV inspection pits, a paint and blast facility with eight booths, onsite ATF test lanes, Tacho bay and Class 7 MOT testing facilities.
Additionally, the site has 6.3 acres of vehicle storage space for MV Commercial’s fleet of Ready to Go trucks for immediate hire, lease, or rent-to-buy.
The Airdrie facility will operate in addition to MV Commercial’s existing three depots across the UK, in Luton, Haydock and Livingston, and become the new home to the majority of the company’s 120-strong team. The expansion is also expected to create many new jobs in the area, including several apprenticeships.
Tom O’Rourke, CEO of MV Commercial, says: “This is an exciting new chapter in our business. This is the company’s largest-ever investment in property and shows our drive and determination to dramatically expand the business into new arenas. The Airdrie site is tailor-made for efficiency when it comes to handling sales, leasing and maintenance support and provides us with the perfect foundation for our future growth plans.”
Steven Cairns, Group Managing Director of MV Commercial, adds: “As part of our ambitious development strategy to offer our full range of services under one roof, this new site will guarantee maximum efficiency, delivering cost-effective solutions for our customers and further extending MV Commercial’s specialist vehicle provision capabilities.”
Founded in 2001, MV Commercial has built its reputation as a major UK supplier of purpose-built commercial vehicles, including crane-mounted rigids, tractor units, tippers & grabs, and recovery vehicles in addition to box vans, curtains and mainstream tractor units and light commercial vehicles.
