Nick Smith, CEO, Bott Ltd comments “this is an exciting step in our strategic plan to widen our UK footprint, through a combination of our important exclusive partner network and own locations. This compliments our existing national fleet infrastructure in Ashby de-la Zouch and Cumbernauld, where we have been a leading UK provider of fleet solutions for 40 years. Growing our national footprint provides important coverage for our regional customers, enabling us to serve everyone from individual trade customers, through to regional & national fleets. This approach not only provides wider capacity in our network but also creates important localised employment opportunities”.
The Bott Group announced the acquisition of Van Guard Accessories, based in Exeter, earlier in the year. One of the related businesses in this deal was Van Guard Full Fit which specialised in ply line services. The existing team from Van Guard Full Fit (headed up by Tim Cutler – Regional General Manager), will now start the transition to the move into the new premises. During the coming months, they, along with new colleagues, will undertake intense training on the full range of bott products and services. The opening date is anticipated for December 2025, once building & fit out works have been completed.
“We look forward to the unveiling later in the year!!!”
