The home of Daimler Truck’s used truck operation for Mercedes-Benz and Fuso Canter trucks has been sold to Culina Asset Management (CAM).
The flagship Wentworth Park site near Barnsley in South Yorkshire will continue to operate as a workshop site run by Daimler Truck UK.
Wentworth Park, a 34-acre site close to J36 of the M1, is the home of national programmes for re-marketing and sales of used Mercedes and Fuso trucks. It is also home to the Mercedes demonstrator fleet.
Heiko Selzam, Daimler Truck UK MD said: “We’re delighted to announce the completion of this sale, which will allow Wentworth Park and all the services we offer from this impressive site to continue to flourish.
“By collaborating with CAM we can maintain all of the important brand functions we carry out here, while passing responsibility for the workshop to a trusted partner with an impeccable track record.”
CAM will provide workshop services as required to Daimler Truck UK but also use the facilities for its own purposes to maintain some of its 5,000 tractor units and 8,000 trailers.
Culina Asset Management MD David Meir said: “This one-off opportunity to occupy and operate Wentworth Park is seen by CAM as key to the continued strategic development of our offering to both internal and external customers.”
