TruckEast acquires trailer maintenance business04 March 2019

Independent Scania dealer TruckEast has acquired Northampton-based trailer maintenance business ST Fleet Services.

The deal, for an undisclosed sum, was completed in February.

Established more than 30 years ago, family-run ST Fleet Services specialises in trailer maintenance, with an eight-bay workshop and six mobile service vans.

Services include trailer and truck inspections and repairs, MOT preparation, brake roller testing and an on-site vehicle wash.

Graham Broughton, TruckEast’s regional aftersales director, says: “ST Fleet have a great reputation in the area supporting local fleet operators. Their specialism in trailer repairs and servicing comes as a welcome addition to our business.”

Matt Thomas, son of previous owner Steve Thomas, will continue to head up the operation as general manager. The company’s trading name will change to ST Fleet.
