Truck Salesman Saves the Show

From 'Uttoxeter' With Love

Following their success in winning their league in the Scania More For Your Money 3, the parts department staff at Keltruck Burton were treated to a day out by Scania (Great Britain) Ltd.

Staff chose a James Bond themed night at Uttoxeter racecourse & were accompanied by their partners in an evening's racing which was enjoyed by all.

Roulette tables & blackjack were on offer, along with a full card of horse racing. Winners & losers were picked, with several tips supplied from Regional General Manager Geoff Hodgkiss, who was on hand throughout the event.

The parts department would like to thank all those involved in this great day out & look forward to more success in future campaigns.

Neil Vazey & Bob Venables

Andrew Jamieson, Aftersales Director, has announced that on 1 June 2008 Neil Vazey will take over at Keltruck West Bromwich whilst Bob Venables will be moving over to Keltruck Willenhall. Russell Warner remains Regional General Manager for both depots.

This mini reorganisation sees Neil, 35, moving back to the depot where he first started as an apprentice in 1991. Since then Neil has risen through the ranks to now managing the £5m turnover operation at West Bromwich, the biggest depot in the Keltruck network. Neil is joined by Russ Warner, Regional General Manager covering the company's aftersales operations in the Black Country area, who also started as a apprentice at the West Bromwich depot in 1987, along with Andrew Jamieson, Aftersales Director, and Chris Kelly, Chairman & Managing Director, both of whom started as apprentices in the industry.

Chris Kelly said: "I am delighted with Neil's appointment. Having seen Neil develop from boy to man & from apprentice to senior manager I feel a sense of pride in the investment Keltruck has made in its people over the past 25 years. We look forward to many more similar success stories over the next 25 years!"

Andrew Jamieson added: "The West Bromwich depot was opened in 1983 as the company's first location. It has grown considerably since that time with a workshop extension & a paintshop connected to the accident repair centre opening in the last 18 months alone. Today Keltruck West Bromwich is the largest operation of its type in the UK offering a one-stop shop for transport operators from the truck, bus & coach sectors. Bob Venables will be taking on the Willenhall depot which continues to grow, going from strength to strength since opening back in January 2006. We wish both Neil & Bob all the best in their new roles. Any school leavers interested in a Keltruck Scania apprenticeship should visit keltruck.com/apprenticeships for more information -- who knows, in 20 years time they could be following in Neil's footsteps!"
