Independent Daf dealership Brian Currie (Milton Keynes) has celebrated 40 years in business with a cake cutting ceremony.
The company - which also specialises in Fiat Professional and Volkswagen Commercials products - now operates out of nine sites with its head office at Bleak Hall, Milton Keynes.
Truck mechanic Currie, originally from Stockton-on-Tees, started the company at a facility in Newport Pagnell with his wife, Pat and just three customers.
The business grew steadily after being appointed a Daf truck service dealer in 1980, and now provides vehicles, parts, servicing and aftersales to more than 1500 clients including Royal Mail and River Island.
It currently employs about 160 staff.
Currie, now part time company chairman; and his wife, part time company secretary still take a very active role in the business.
Their son Philip is general manager at the Northampton Daf site and daughter Heather is aftersales manager in the Volkswagen Van Centre.
Brian Currie said: "We have seen many changes in the truck and van industry over the years and have worked hard to adapt to these changes.
“At the heart of our business is exceptional customer service and loyalty to our staff and our continued success reflects that."
