Family-run dealership Dack Motor Group has launched a new venture specialising in the conversion and sale of commercial vans.
The newly created Dack Vans division has a specialist team of coachbuilders building and modifying vehicles from the chassis up.
It’s able to work with all fleets and ventures, creating a wide range of commercial vehicles including tippers, drop-sides, luton vans, and vehicles with curtain sliders and tail-lifts as well as bespoke creations for any organisation.
The team of 14 engineers create specialist vehicles from the chassis up and construct around 25 hand-built vehicles each month.
As well as vehicles for a range of manufacturing, construction and traffic management uses, the company has also built mobile welfare units with kitchens and break facilities as well as ice cream vans, mobile coffee shops, bars and campervans.
The new venture expands and complements the company’s existing dealership, which offers a wide range of specialist and commercial vans for sale or hire, offering nationwide delivery. Founded in Lincoln in 2010 by automotive technician and group MD Leo Dack, Dack Motor Group now employs 48 people at three sites in Lincoln and Coventry.
Managing director Leo Dack said: “Getting into commercial vehicles is something that excites us because there’s such a huge range of vehicle types and uses and it really fires our creativity. Just about every business needs a van and we now offer a comprehensive package of van construction, servicing, sales and rentals.
“Offering all of this is a major advantage because it puts us and our customers in control so we’re not beholden to third parties because everything is done in-house by our own team of experienced professionals. We source chassis directly from vehicle manufacturers and then do everything else ourselves which means we can offer a fantastic service doing everything we can for our clients.
“We work on an amazing range of vehicles and clients are amazed by what the team can produce and the outstanding quality of the work. Whether it’s an ice-cream van, mobile barista, highway maintenance vans, campervan, welfare vans, drop-side or tail lift, everything is top-quality, hand-built and made to last.
