Northside Truck & Van has represented Mercedes-Benz in West and South Yorkshire since the 1970s, with its area of responsibility extended last year to include North Lincolnshire, as well as East and North Yorkshire.
‘We’ve been searching for the right site for a new, purpose-designed dealership since we moved into this area,’ said Chris Mansell, general manager for Northside’s Immingham operation. ‘The fact that construction work is now underway is great news, not only for local operators but also for our hard-working staff.
‘It demonstrates the level of effort, commitment and investment Northside is making to provide truck and van customers across this important area with the exacting levels of service for which Mercedes-Benz is renowned.’
