The 4.5-acre, three-story facility includes 50,000 sq ft of office space, an auditorium and a four-bay workshop offering training facilities for DAF’s 136 UK dealers and their employees.
“DAF has been the UK market leader for 23 consecutive years,” said Robin Easton, managing director of DAF Trucks. “With this excellent facility, its dedicated staff and our tremendous truck manufacturing facility in Leyland, I am confident we will further expand this strong position in the United Kingdom.”
The site was officially opened by Mark Pigott, executive chairman of the board of directors of Paccar, who is pictured, centre, along with (left to right): Bryan Sitko, MD of Leyland Trucks; Ray Ashworth, retired and former MD, DAF Trucks in the UK; Simon Smits, Dutch ambassador to the UK; and Robin Easton.
