l' HE opening of the new commercial 1 centre ot Kennings Ltd. in Sheffield last week proved to be a landmark for BMC as well as the Kenning Motor Group, the first occasion on which Austin commercial and Morris-Commercial distributorships have been housed under one roof.
This had never been allowed before, said C. W. Baker, BMC's director, commercial vehicle and tractor sales, in opening the premises.
The new centre takes in the two distributorships previously operated by Kennings and a group company in other districts in Sheffield, The arrangement is specifically in respect of commercial vehicles.
The new premises at Penistone Road are solely for commercial transport and have cost some 030,000. The project means that two companies, Kennings Ltd., commercial vehicle centre, and Kenning Coachwork Ltd. stand side by side.
Spares are for day-to-day and emergency purposes because a full range is still available from the group's parts centre in another district of Sheffield. This also applies to tyres which are available on 24-hour emergency service.
