NRG Riverside becomes MAN Truck and Bus franchised service partner for South Wales

The move follows NRG Riverside’s recent acquisition of Commercial Motors (Wales), a long-term franchised service partner of MAN Truck and Bus UK in Newport, South Wales.

The acquisition marks NRG Riverside’s first presence in Wales, which the company said is an important milestone in the group’s growth strategy.

Commercial Motors joins the NRG Riverside business at a pivotal time, strengthening its ability to support existing MAN customers and enhancing service capabilities across the area.

Glen Crompton, MAN Truck & Bus UK director of customer service management, said, “We are delighted to welcome a new member to our franchised service partner network and look forward to working alongside the team at NRG Riverside in the near future.”

“Before the business transfers to NRG Riverside, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gill and Roger Sheddick, and Mary and Robert Manchip, for their unwavering support, outstanding assistance, and hard work over many years. We all wish them all the best for the future.”

Commenting on the acquisition, John Matthews, NRG Riverside transformation director, said: “Having worked closely with the owners and colleagues throughout the acquisition process, it is clear to see that Commercial Motors is a business built on pride, passion, and a genuine commitment to delivering excellent customer service.

“Those values align fully with NRG Riverside’s culture and ambitions. We are delighted to welcome the team and look forward to investing in the business together.”

“Commercial Motors is a highly respected MAN Truck & Bus franchised service partner with a long-standing reputation for delivering quality, reliability, and outstanding customer service.

“The business brings strong technical expertise, deep local knowledge, and a highly skilled team - all of which align closely with NRG Riverside’s commitment to operational excellence and customer-first service.”
