A purpose-built Wadsco Trucks facility has opened in Blenheim,
The new Isuzu dealership has been three years in the making, with owners David Clark and John Wadsworth starting their expansion plan in 2014.
“Our history stretches way back to 1984, when we first established ourselves in Blenheim,” John Wadsworth says.
“Since that time we have grown from a single garage operation, to an employer of 16 staff operating out of these new world-class premises.”
The new dealership has six drive-through bays, all 25 metres long, two service pits as well as a Certificate of Fitness lane, Clark says.
“The showroom can also take a truck the height of an eight-wheeler and, impressively, the workshop, office, sales, parts and showroom is all underfloor heated with 13kms of water pipping running to a burner that uses our waste oil.”
National sales manager for Isuzu Trucks Dave Ballantyne says the new premises will serve customers at the top of the South Island well.
“This continues the recent trend by the Isuzu dealer network to invest in and develop their dealerships to handle the business growth, and there is more to come”.
Wadsco Trucks is located at 6 Horton St, Mayfield, Blenheim and can be contacted on 03 579 2975.
