• In a year when rising interest rates have damped expansion plans for many companies, Motalink remains committed to a policy of growth and with a 20% share of the market, claims to be Britain's largest van sales distributor of workshop consumables.
One hundred and eighty vans sell tools direct to vehicle repair workshops, and the 50th one has now been converted to the company's new livery.
Said transport manager Fred King, handing over the keys at Motalink head office in Cursham, Wiltshire, to Southampton branch manager Steve Chester: "This is a very important landmark in our year of expansion. In a market as fragmented as ours, we know we cannot afford to stand still."
This year the company has increased its standard stocklist of spares to 1,650 different components by adding 250 new products to meet fitters' demands. New depots were opened in Llandudno Junction and Bury St Edmunds.
