IN JANUARY 2021 MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd announced the purchase of the HRVS Group, thus acquiring five dealerships located across central England: Ripley, Stoke-on-Trent, Sheffield, Scunthorpe and Sleaford, as well as a customer workshop in Burton upon Trent.
David Littlejohn, head of branches UK, at MAN said: “The acquisition is complete and the five sites are now an integral part of MAN Truck & Bus Ltd’s wholly owned dealer network.
“We’re excited to be welcoming colleagues from across all the sites to the MAN Truck & Bus family. This acquisition both strengthens our network footprint and further ensures our presence in several key strategic locations.”
The new locations increase MAN’s wholly owned branch network to 21 vehicle service and sales locations.
In 2018, MAN Truck & Bus UK committed to an investment of £20 million in the UK wholly owned branch network. “This investment has seen several new site openings and existing site improvements and renovations. In addition, many of the private capital franchised partners have also invested in new sites, building improvements and re-openings,” said David Littlejohn.
