A leading member of the Mercedes-Benz Trucks dealer network has opened an impressive new dealership in Dartford, Kent.
The Sparshatt Truck and Van facility occupies a huge 1.8-acre site centred around a 48,000sq ft central building and cost more than £2 million to develop.
Featuring 13 state-of-the-art truck bays, the site is designed to offer customers industry-leading levels of round-the-clock aftersales support.
Like other Mercedes-Benz Trucks Dealers in Britain, Sparshatt Truck & Van is responsible for sales of Mercedes’ Actros, Arocs, Antos, Atego and Econic models and of FUSO Canter light trucks. It maintains and repairs vans as well as trucks, and, as a Service franchisee of EvoBus (Mercedes-Benz and Setra), buses and coaches too.
Commenting on the development, Dealer Principal Steve Rooney said, “As a business we are investing heavily to support our growth strategy, and this has been a tremendously exciting project.
“Our Dartford workshop has been extremely busy for a long time now, and General Manager Sean Bravery and his team have worked heroically in very challenging conditions to ensure that we maintain service levels for operators.
“Colleagues have transitioned seamlessly to their new home, and have been rewarded for their patience and loyalty with facilities that are right up there with the very best in the industry. From the ramps and other tooling in the workshop, to the racking in the Parts department, everything is brand new – we’ve even installed a professionally equipped, in-house gym for use by staff!”
