Operating as Sparks Commercials Exeter from 1 April 2022, this latest acquisition takes the number of Sparks Commercial Services sites to five, joining facilities in Southampton, Portsmouth, Poole and Swindon. The company has confirmed that all 12 former employees of Renault Truck Commercials Exeter will transfer to Sparks Commercial Services to join its growing workforce of 122.
Michael Spark, managing director, says: “We are delighted to welcome the new site and all its staff to the Sparks Commercials family. Sparks Commercials Exeter is a perfect strategic fit for us in terms of location, with excellent access to the M5 and A30, and underpins our growth plans to further develop our business across the South and South West of England. Furthermore, key members of our team already have strong links to the South West, including our commercial director Wayne Petherick, making this acquisition a natural progression in line with our expansion plans.”
He continues: “We have inherited a first-class team in Exeter from an established and trusted dealer that has built a loyal customer base across Devon and Cornwall, and we look forward to delivering the service excellence for which Sparks Commercial Services is renowned. We have a great deal to offer and we look forward to growing sales of the Renault Trucks brand in this important region.”
