MAN Truck & Bus UK has purchased the HRVS Group, acquiring dealerships in Ripley, Stoke-on-Trent, Sheffield, Scunthorpe and Sleaford, and a customer workshop in Burton upon Trent.

Commenting on the purchase of HRVS, which has been an MAN franchised agent for 17 years, Thomas Hemmerich, CEO of MAN Truck & Bus UK (pictured), said: “The acquisition will undoubtedly strengthen our wholly-owned branch network which, following the HRVS purchase, now numbers 24 vehicle service and sales locations. This acquisition is of major importance to our business as it both strengthens our network footprint and further ensures our presence in several key strategic locations.

“We’re keen to integrate HRVS into the MAN Truck & Bus UK team as soon as possible, starting with the transfer of the HRVS employees. HRVS will continue to operate as usual for now. The only difference is that the business is now owned by MAN Truck & Bus UK.”
