The new site, less than a mile from Pennine’s current location, will include additional workshop space, the ability to stock a larger variety of parts, provide modern driver facilities and improve driver accessibility with extra parking and space to manoeuvre vehicles.
Steve Howard, managing director of West Pennine Trucks, said: “We’ve outgrown our current location and I’m delighted to be able to commit to the transport and logistics community of Mid Wales by providing them with a depot fit for the future.
