Two of MAN's private capital dealers, Aquila Group and PCL Group, have announced business expansion in the Midlands and South East respectively.
Aquila has opened a new site in Gloucester, while PCL has taken over the sales, service and parts responsibilities for MAN trucks and buses from MV Trucks in Maidstone and Gatwick.
Aquila's new MAN franchise in Gloucester, acquired from Vertu Motors last year, is incorporated into its Aquila Truck Centres (Italia) subsidiary. The dealer has invested £150,000 in the facilities in the Bristol Road location.
PCL Group has formed a new company, Purfleet Commercials (Maidstone), and will operate out of MV Trucks' facilities at Aylesford, near Maidstone, and Salfords, near Gatwick. The dealerships will be known as PCL Maidstone and PCL Gatwick.
MAN's network comprises private capital dealers and wholly-owned branch dealers.
