head office, sales & accounts departments will be
closed from the close of business on Christmas Eve
(Monday 24 December) until Wednesday 2 January.
Rather
than send cards we have, once again, decided to
make a donation to charity –
once
again this year we are donating to the Ellie
Bishop Trust. All
the staff at Keltruck would like to wish our customers
a very merry Christmas & a prosperous New Year.

have included the story of one of Keltruck's first
ever used sales customers, Dale Brothers Ltd, who
first bought their first used Scania truck from
Keltruck in 1983, our first year of trading, &
recently bought their second used Scania from us

West Bromwich
workshop extension
For
those who have visited West Bromwich in the past few
weeks, firstly apologies for the disruption but, as
you will see, we are extending the existing workshop
by adding a further two double length bays.
The
whole project will be completed in 16 weeks from start
to finish & will give the West Bromwich workshop a
greater capacity with drive through bays for servicing
to suit the likes of our coach, bus & trailer
customers.
This
is another major investment for us at the West
Bromwich site with the workshop extension costing
close to £½m
& following on from the opening of our new
paintshop earlier in the year.
