One of the largest DAF Trucks dealerships, Ford & Slater delivers more than 2,000 vehicles a year. Earlier this year, it gained stage 2 type approval for accessory fitment on tractor units and factory-bodied vehicles, and says this has led to the need for more workshop space.
The approvals cover the fitment of over 100 commonly specified components across the full DAF range of LF, CF and XF.
“We pride ourselves on the quality, accuracy and speed of our pre-delivery preparation process,” says Tim Strevens, Ford & Slater’s joint managing director.
“As the volume of vehicles going through our Leicester site increases, this new building will ensure we continue to support our sub-contractors and give them an environment to work in safely and efficiently.”
