New Volkswagen Van Centre opens in Shrewsbury

An all-new, state-of-the-art Volkswagen Van Centre is now open in Shrewsbury.

The official opening ceremony on Tuesday 15 May was attended by Hans-Heiner Tueting, Head of Sales worldwide for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. He was joined by Robert Hazelwood, Director of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles UK and Brian Bachelor, Managing Director of Hartshorne Van Services, which runs the new enterprise.

The new Volkswagen Van Centre, which has created ten new jobs for the area, has a large workshop fully equipped with the latest diagnostic and servicing systems, plus a spacious, modern showroom displaying Volkswagen’s award-winning light commercial vehicle range as well as the people-carrying Caravelle and California campervan. Parts, accessories and pre-owned, Assured Used Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles are also available.

Brian Bachelor said: ‘I am delighted to announce that we now operate three dedicated Volkswagen Van Centres from sites in Birmingham, Bilston and from today, Shrewsbury. Our success can be attributed to our total focus on providing, servicing and repairing Volkswagen vans – with the expertise and resource to meet the needs of the small independent purchaser right through to the large fleet buyers and everything in between. We can now bring the same high standards of expertise and service we offer our customers in the Midlands to Shropshire. As you would expect, we will offer the full range of Volkswagen vans, but it may be a surprise to many that we also supply the Caravelle luxury MPV, plus the Volkswagen California.’

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Director, Robert Hazelwood, commented: ‘I am delighted to see another van centre added to Volkswagen’s unique dedicated van network providing the high standards our customers expect.’

The new Van Centre can be found at Ennerdale Road, Harlescott, Shrewsbury SY1 3TL and contacted on 01743 450980. Alternatively for further details visit the Hartshorne website vw4vans.co.uk or the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles website at volkswagen-vans.co.uk.
