Iveco dealerships, Northern Commercials and Stormont Truck & Van, to form one business. The deal sees Northern Commercials, which has sites at Brighouse and Manchester, acquire the trade and assets of Stormont and its four sites in Brighton, Dunstable, Northampton and Tonbridge. Roger Peel, group MD of Northern Commercials, said ever since the parent company bought Stormont
Truck & Van five years ago, the businesses have operated closely alongside each other. "It made strategic sense to integrate the two companies and to go to market as a single brand," he said.
Northern Commercials, which becomes the new name, will centralise its accounting process at the new head office and flagship dealer at Brighouse.
Clipper bought Northern Commercials in 2005 and acquired Stormont in 2008.
