New partnership at Road Range Commercials22 December 2011

The management team running Road Range Commercials, the Mercedes-Benz truck and van dealer for Merseyside and North Wales, has acquired a majority stake in the business.

The new owners are former dealer principal Brian Kempson, who takes on the role of managing director, and financial director Mike Jones.

The duo's first task was to confirm their commitment to the completion of a £1.5-million project to construct a purpose-built dealership in Deeside.

Road Range has operated a site in Zone 3 of the Deeside Industrial Park, but the premises are cramped and offer no room for expansion.

"The new site is in Zone 2 and will be a massive improvement," enthuses Kempson. "It's more conveniently located closer to the A55 and will allow us to show off our award-winning Mercedes-Benz trucks and vans, and Fuso Canter light trucks, to both fleet and retail customers.

"It will also give us more workshop space in which to service our customers' vehicles, and allow us to provide an attractive, welcoming showroom and reception area."

Road Range is confident the development, which is scheduled to open in June 2012, will help it to attract more retail van customers.

The service centre will have 10 full-length bays and a dedicated VOSA ATF lane, with full Petroleum Regulation Standard.
