The Stockton-on-Tees company is celebrating a successful 2024 after completing more than 5,000 conversions year to date – up from 2,800 across the whole of 2019 thanks to the shift from batch to line production to meet increased demand.

The company now produces a tipper every 45 minutes, a dropside every two hours and a Luton vehicle every two hours for its customers, including in the logistics, construction, utilities, and emergency services.

CPD has been recognised for its outstanding growth by being named third in the Ward Hadaway North East Fastest 50 list for 2024. This accolade highlights the company’s rapid expansion, innovative approach and continued success in delivering high-quality solutions to businesses across the UK.

CPD has now rebranded to showcase its growth and innovation. The new visual identity and website, also rolled out by sister company VanDemand, reflects the firm’s forward-thinking approach while retaining its well-known name and adopting an updated user interface for the websites.

CPD has also bolstered its leadership team with two new key appointments. Tina Lynas joins as finance director, bringing over 25 years of experience in financial management within the commercial vehicle industry.

Tom Pearson has been appointed as commercial director, bringing a wealth of experience in business development and commercial strategy.

Both appointments mark a key moment for CPD Bodies as it celebrates its 15th year of trading and looks ahead to the future.

Cathal Doocey, founder and managing director of CPD, commented: “With our leadership appointments and a fresh visual identity, CPD is well-positioned to continue its impressive growth trajectory.

“We remain dedicated to delivering high-quality, tailored solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers, while playing a leading role in supporting the UK’s transition to greener, more sustainable transport solutions.”
