Mercedes-Benz dealership Intercounty Truck & Van has announced a £2m investment in a new Dunstable site that will create 30 new jobs.
The site offers a state-of-the-art workshop for the servicing and maintenance of all makes of vans, over-the-counter parts, and a range of EV facilities.
It will also house three 24-hour service vans to provide round-the-clock roadside assistance in the local area and emergency customer site visits– with plans to introduce full 24-hour servicing in the near future.
Training
Meanwhile, the dealership is also making substantial investments in technician training, specifically around EVs, and actively recruiting the next generation of skilled technicians through an apprentice programme.
Nick Skillman, managing director at Intercounty Truck & Van, said: “The launch of our new Dunstable site offers incredible opportunity, both for us as a business and for the local economy – particularly as we welcome the transition to electric.
“We’ve been operating as a Mercedes-Benz franchise for over 20 years, covering Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Now, we have a new, state-of-the-art dealership with huge market potential that sits in a prime location in Bedfordshire, which is set to double in capacity over the next 20 years.”
