Toyota Material Handling UK (TMHUK) has announced that work is set to begin on the construction of a new purpose-designed Fleet Management Centre to support its growing UK Rental and Used equipment business.
The new unit will be built on the Old Dalby Trading Estate, Melton Mowbray – the industrial park where Toyota’s existing Fleet Management Centre is located, reaffirming the company’s commitment to the East Midlands region.
Building work is expected to take 18-months and, when complete, the centre will provide modern and sustainable office space, indoor and outdoor storage and state-of-the-art workshop facilities, where equipment will be refurbished to the highest standards before being made available to rent or buy.
Stuart Reilly, TMHUK’s Director – Rental & Used, said: “Our facilities at Old Dalby were originally built as a military storage depot at the start of World War Two and has served us well over the past 24-years.”
He added: “Year-on-year growth has seen us operationally complete in excess of 12,000 trucks per annum and it’s time for an upgrade to support the largest rental fleet in the UK.
“Project FMC 2.0 will be a true reflection of the Toyota brand and provide exceptional facilities for members of the TMHUK fleet management team for many years to come.”
