Marshall Fleet Solutions has opened a new, state-of-the-art flagship depot in the West Midlands, supporting growth plans for its Thermo King Transport Refrigeration and Tail Lift services.
The multi-million-pound facility was declared officially open for business with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday 11 August, at Tamworth’s Birch Coppice Business Park, strategically located in the heart of the Midlands transport and logistics industry hub.
The opening was attended by VIP business representatives from the temperature-controlled, tail lift and fleet management sectors, together with the Mayor of North Warwickshire, councillor Tony Clews and Marshall Group’s chief executive officer Kathy Jenkins.
The purpose-built design and operational facilities are able to meet 24/7/365 requirements and include an expansive multi-bay workshop, a National Parts & Accessories Centre (NPAC), an executive office suite, and a dedicated Centre of Excellence which builds upon the company’s existing transport refrigeration training school.
Mark Howell, managing director of Marshall Fleet Solutions, said: “Our new Tamworth facility marks a significant milestone in the MFS history and I’m delighted to be opening during our 50th anniversary year. With this excellent facility and our dedicated employees, I am confident we will increase capacity and continue to deliver award winning service to our growing customer base for the next 50+ years.”
The new depot also aligns with Marshall’s environmental and sustainability commitments to reduce carbon emissions and achieve net zero by 2030.
It expands Marshall Fleet Solutions operations to five depots around the UK, with two further satellite depots to support its customers.
