Marshall Thermo King and Marshall VTR Tail Lift are pleased to announce the strengthening of their service provision in the north of the country following a strategic alliance with Stockport Truck Centre. The partnership will allow the UK’s largest dealer in vehicle-mounted refrigeration and tail-lift equipment to offer workshop facilities from 4 new locations (Haydock, Stockport, Birkenhead and Hyde). The deal cements a long-standing relationship between the two organisations and is a win-win situation for both sets of customers who now have a complete one-stop-shop for all commercial vehicle servicing needs. Commenting on the announcement, Stockport Truck Centre MD Gareth Hardy said “The services offered by Marshall fully complement our own. Minimum downtime is the most important factor for our customers. Being able to offer fridge and tail-lift servicing, as well as all other aspects of commercial maintenance and body repairs, under one roof means less overall downtime.” This view was endorsed by Nigel Faben, MD of Marshall’s service group, “Stockport Truck Centre have built up a good reputation with the vehicle distribution industry in the Greater Manchester area. Like us, they provide 24/7 emergency breakdown cover and the highest levels of workmanship. It makes sense for us to share their state-of-the-art facilities, whilst providing unrivalled levels of service in the area.”
