Northside Truck & Van has opened for business in North Lincolnshire and East and North Yorkshire, looking after Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles.
The change follows Northside's decision to purchase the previous franchisee's premises at Henry Boot Way, on Hull's Priory Park trading estate. The dealer continues to represent Mercedes in West and South Yorkshire, where it has been serving truck and van operators since the 1970s.
Northside Truck & Van has also agreed terms to redevelop the outgoing dealer's former headquarters on Humber Road, South Killingholme, currently supporting customers from a temporary home at Lancaster Approach, North Killingholme.
Meanwhile, in York, Northside has constructed a new dealership in a former industrial unit close to the city's northern ring road, at Atlas Road, Clifton Moor, which opened for business on Monday 26 March.
Northside Truck & Van also has depots in Bradford, Doncaster, Leeds and Sheffield. It has been owned since 2005 by Lanarkshire-based SAH, and, under managing director Tim Ward, and chairman Fergus Leitch has become one of Britain's top-performing commercial vehicle dealers.
