In January 2021 MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd announced the purchase of the HRVS Group and, in so doing, acquired five dealerships located across central England: Ripley, Stoke-on-Trent, Sheffield, Scunthorpe and Sleaford, as well as a customer workshop in Burton upon Trent.

“We’re pleased to announce that the acquisition is now complete and the five sites are now an integral part of MAN Truck & Bus’s wholly owned dealer network,” said David Littlejohn, head of branches UK, MAN Truck & Bus UK.

He adds: “We're also very pleased and hugely excited to be welcoming the dedicated and highly experienced colleagues from across all the sites to the MAN Truck & Bus family. This acquisition is of major importance to our business as it both strengthens our network footprint and further ensures our presence in several key strategic locations.”

The new locations increase MAN Truck & Bus’s wholly-owned branch network, which now numbers 21 vehicle service and sales locations nationwide.

Jeremy Holstead, depot manager, MAN Truck & Bus Sleaford, added: “I’d like to thank the staff, who throughout the acquisition and migration period, have shown great dedication to the MAN brand. Their loyalty to focus and deliver the MAN Customer First promise has shone through and we are all looking forward to a brighter future.

“The Sleaford team have wholeheartedly appreciated the care, openness and professionalism shown towards them during the past six months as the migration changes have been implemented, and I have to say the changes have proven immensely popular and there is a new air of positivity across the Sleaford site, which I’m sure is mirror imaged across the other locations too.”
