Scania (
www.scania.com), the Swedish manufacturer of commercial vehicles, has opened a £5.3 million brand centre in Somerset to provide a wide range of servicing, repair and maintenance services, alongside sales of new and used trucks.
Scania Bridgwater was opened last month by Sweden’s ambassador to the UK, Torbjörn Sohlström, along with Scania’s UK managing director, Martin Hay.
Mr Hay said: “This opening is especially personal for me, as I was involved with the very first opening of a facility in Bridgwater in September 1995. I’m extremely proud to see how it has developed.
“It shows what can be achieved through loyal customers and dedicated staff. We have every confidence that Scania Bridgwater will continue to provide a fantastic service in the future.”
Nigel Champion, Scania Bridgwater’s general manager, said: “Our new location will enable us to continue to achieve the high levels of customer service that we are associated with.
“The new location will provide more space for vehicles to manoeuvre and enable us to not only keep up with service demand but grow the business too.”
