Swindon-based MAN Truck & Bus UK has purchased the HRVS Group and, in so doing, has acquired five dealerships located in Ripley, Stoke-on-Trent, Sheffield, Scunthorpe and Sleaford, and a customer workshop in Burton upon Trent.

This represents a major investment in the company’s aftersales footprint. “The acquisition will undoubtedly strengthen our wholly-owned branch network which, following the HRVS purchase, now numbers 24 vehicle service and sales locations,” the company said.

“We’re very excited to be adding these five new locations to our branch network. We’re also pleased to be welcoming new and highly experienced colleagues to the MAN family.”
