Motus Commercials, a division of Motus Group (UK), has opened a workshop at its Volkswagen Van Centre in Derby.

“The existing facility no longer enabled us to provide the service needed to customers, particularly following the success of the VW Crafter and new technology like BEV,” said Gareth Kaye, LCV franchise director.
“This new facility will provide much shorter lead times for customers and make the work environment much better for technicians, which will in turn aid productivity.”
A similar scheme is planned for the Nottingham Volkswagen Van Centre later this year, as Motus Commercials continues to build on its relationship with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

Lawrenson said: “I take great joy in attending events like this and seeing the improvements within our sites following many months of planning and hard work. Essentially though, it is all about improving service levels for customers.”
