MV Commercial has been named Independent Dealer of the Year at the industry-renowned Commercial Motor Awards 2020.
Judges applauded the leading commercial vehicle rental and sales specialist, which in 2018 invested £3.8 million in a new central hub strategically located in Airdrie.
On what made MV Commercial the winner, the panel commented: “MV Commercial is one of the best suppliers of specialist vehicles that you are likely to find. Offering a wide range of quality products with a national outlook, they give confidence to prospective purchasers with their vast knowledge and excellent customer service.”
Its recent investment in a ‘super-site’ brought the company’s sales, hire, leasing, finance, maintenance, engineering, fabrication and painting facilities under one roof, helping to increase commercial vehicle supply by 22% and reduce vehicle build times to an industry leading 6 weeks.
Steven Cairns, Managing Director at MV Commercial says: “We couldn’t be more delighted with this win. The entrants were of such a high standard and we were honoured to be among such big names – so to be chosen as the very best in the business is something really special.
“It’s obviously been an unpredictable and difficult year, so this award has come at the perfect time to lift our spirits. We have an incredibly hard-working and dedicated team, and this award is a credit to them.”
The company, which also has bases in Luton, Haydock, Wigan and Livingston, has a team of industry-leading in-house engineers specialising in truck mounted cranes and construction-based vehicles.
The business has remained profitable month on month over the past year as the demand for its specialist products has remained strong, and its new asset finance division also enjoyed significant success, providing £19m of funding for almost 200 vehicles.
