Truck mechanic Brian Currie, from Stockton on Tees, started his commercial vehicle firm with workshop just three customers, but grew to become a DAF truck service dealership in 1980.
The firm now provides trucks and vans, parts, servicing and after sales service to more than 1,500 clients for DAF, Fiat Professional and Volkswagen Commercials – ranging from Royal Mail to River Island.
Originally based in Newport Pagnell, the family-run business now operates out of nine sites across the region with its head office in Bleak Hall, Milton Keynes.
“At the heart of our business is exceptional customer service and loyalty to our staff – and our continued success reflects that,” says Currie.
