HGV and traffic management vehicle specialist Blakedale is significantly expanding its vehicle build capabilities for Northgate and FridgeXpress customers.

The Chorley-based business is recognised for its expertise in designing and building a wide range of bespoke HGV and LCV conversions for highways customers, together with a national specialist bodybuilder network.

It said this capability was now being extended to Northgate and FridgeXpress customers, offering them access to a greater number of bespoke vehicles, including HGVs for the first time.

Blakedale’s site features four specialist vehicle build bays, a dedicated parts store, a commercial vehicle repair facility, and a brand-new HGV inspection pit with heavy-duty vehicle lifts.

This enables Blakedale to offer a complete end-to-end solution for specialist vehicle build and maintenance, including crash cushion inspection, maintenance and repairs.

Jon Taylor, MD at Blakedale, said: “We’re proud to be extending our specialist build services to a wider range of sectors and vehicle types for group companies.

“Our in-house team’s skills and experience mean we can offer tailored solutions for customers that are all built to the highest standards and fully supported by our nationwide aftersales service.”
