Mercedes-Benz UK has appointed dealer Northside Truck & Van to fill the void left by H&L Garages, which folded last year.

The expansion sees Northside grow from four sites across West and South Yorkshire to seven covering East and North Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire.

H&L Garages lost the Mercedes-Benz franchise six days before entering administration just before last Christmas.

Tim Ward, Northside’s MD, says it has opened a new site in York, purchased H&L Garages former site on the Priory Park Trading Estate in Hull, and is currently operating from a temporary home in North Killingholme.

Ward says Northside will redevelop the outgoing dealer’s former headquarters in South Killingholme: “When the chance arose both to extend our area and invest in new business, we naturally jumped at the opportunity.

“We moved quickly and put together a solid business plan that will ensure our customers, both old and new, receive the levels of service they require and demand,” he says.
