New investment in the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles network of Van Centres and Authorised Repairers is good news for the motor industry and Volkswagen van drivers.

With several new investments in the pipeline, two of the most recent developments include the appointment of a new Authorised Repairer in Stratford-upon-Avon, and the acquisition of the Volkswagen Van Centre in Shrewsbury by the Shropshire-based Greenhous Group which now operates seven franchises in Shropshire and Staffordshire.

The new Authorised Repairer, Listers Van Service Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon, offers repairs, servicing and parts sales six days a week, and represents an investment of at least £30,000 by the Listers Group in new equipment, tools and staff training.  It provides a convenient location for customers located between the Listers Volkswagen Van Centres in Coventry and Warwick.

The Greenhous Volkswagen Van Centre, as it is now called, in Ennerdale Road, Shrewsbury, will continue to sell new and Assured Used Volkswagen commercial vehicles with an expanded parts and servicing operation.

Ray Coates of Greenhous Group commented: ‘Greenhous is in a strong position to move the business forward because of the relationships we have spent years growing with our retail and fleet customers, and we endeavour always to put customer service at the top of our list of priorities.’

Duncan Sands, Head of Operations, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles said: ‘We are very impressed with the continued confidence and investment in the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles business by our Van Centres.’
