Commercial vehicle business expands its flagship dealership offering near Reading

Following a steady period of growth, Anchor Vans - the UK’s largest independent commercial vehicle hypermarket - has expanded the expansion of their flagship dealership on the A4 at Padworth, just outside of Reading.

On August 15, Anchor Vans acquired the two-acre site adjacent to their existing Padworth site, previously owned by The Caravan Company.

Work on the new site is anticipated to begin later this year and the land will be a welcome addition to the busy A4 business which is running at full capacity.

Taking the site up to five acres, the new space will provide a permanent location for the valeting department, an area for transporters to unload away from the busy main road and more room for stock.

Simon Joyce, MD of Anchor Vans said: “We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our main site and we are excited about the improvements it will bring to our business, our employees’ working lives and the local community.

“Our family-run business has been operating in the local area for over 30 years, and we look forward to continuing our growth which will open up further job opportunities within our area.”

Now approaching its fourth decade in the business, the Berkshire-based company runs sites at three separate locations.

This announcement follows planning approval for renovations to the company’s third site along the A4 in Midgham, where the business will be making changes including the installation of a new glass-fronted showroom and additional MOT bay.

This will improve the appearance of the current building and reduce the need for vehicles to be transported between sites.

The company is listed by the Motor Trader Top 50 in its Top 50 independent UK Motor Dealers.
