The current SHB Southall depot in Ealing will close and be relocated to a three-acre site in Heathrow with ample parking and workshops to support the LCV, buggy and HGV rental fleet. The new site at Gloucester will be dedicated to vehicle preparation and sales.
SHB managing director Mike Street said: ‘We have previously supported our London customers through our Southall site but relocation to this larger facility will enable us to provide a more efficient service utilising the larger workshops and bigger footprint to enable us to offer locally a wider range of vehicles, and so enhancing our response and lead times to customers.'
Teams will begin relocation from the Southall site to Heathrow in November in readiness for a fully functional site by December 2014, with the Gloucester depot going into operation on 1st November.
