Eva Evans, head of network development and strategic projects, MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd, said: “Taking over the existing Motus Commercials facility and the skills and services of the highly motivated, fully-trained and experienced workforce is key to continuity and ensures we meet the high levels of service demanded by our customers.”
