FIELDEN FACTORS’ FLEET REFRESH

TOP 100 GROWTH

Airdrie-based truck specialist MV Commercial has been named in the prestigious FEBE Growth 100 list of Britain’s fastest-growing, founder-led private companies.

The Growth 100 celebrates British business at its best – highlighting founders that are driving their companies to deliver significant sales, revenue and profit, against a backdrop of unprecedented economic challenges.

MV Commercial is one of only nine Scottish firms in the list of UK companies to be recognised for its entrepreneurial success.

Tom O’Rourke, MV Commercial’s CEO, who founded the company in 2001, describes the company’s Growth 100 listing as a major honour. “It highlights our consistent growth, financial strength and market leadership and underscores the unwavering dedication to excellence, quality and customer satisfaction demonstrated by my exceptional team across the UK,” he says.

“I take great pride in sharing this achievement with them, as their contributions have propelled MV Commercial to become the market leader it is today.”

With a burgeoning reputation as a crane truck specialist and provider of a large in-stock ReadyTo-Go fleet, MV Commercial has experienced significant growth in the past two years. In 2021, it completed the largest acquisition in the company’s history, buying Grantham-based tipping trailer and truck body manufacturer Fruehauf out of administration in a multi-million pound deal.

O’Rourke adds: “Our rapid growth has been fuelled by strategic acquisitions, investments in facilities and systems, and our long-term planning and purchasing programme, which have enabled the company to take a leading role in the timely supply of specialised units for the truck, trailer, and van industries.”

To make the FEBE (For Entrepreneurs By Entrepreneurs)

Growth 100 list, businesses met the following criteria: sales between £3m and £200m; trading for at least three years; making an operating profit in the latest financial year; founder(s) still involved.

The ranking was data-driven, with companies ordered by compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in sales over the last three financial years. Businesses could nominate themselves or were selected by FEBE contacting them directly, as well as by FEBE accessing publicly available financial information.

shorter wheelbases and manual gearboxes for improved control and safety over rough terrain.

The Lancashire business will primarily use the vehicles to transport timber, building materials and landscaping products from its depots in Rossendale, Todmorden and Wigan to customers across the North West of England.

Tom Whitehead, Managing Director at Fielden Factors, says: “These modern and wellequipped vehicles are ideal for transporting building materials to our customers.

“The front-mounted crane on the DAF CF 320 is an excellent adaptation from MV Commercial that gives us a different option for moving the diverse range of materials we now offer.”

ANDY DAVIS M V Commercial’s Technical Sales Engineer

The new vehicles join five other trucks in the company’s expanding fleet and feature a brand-new distinctive livery.

“We’ve invested in the brick grabs to grow our services. Adding 26 tonne vehicles to our fleet allows us to operate a higher payload than some of the units we had previously and enables us

to be more cost-efficient in our operations.

“With lower running costs and reduced CO2 emissions, we are also well prepared for when the clean air zone is introduced in Greater Manchester. Everyone needs to do their bit,” Whitehead says.

Because MV Commercial is an Accredited Dealership for the Manchester Clean Air Zone, Andy Davis, MV Commercial’s Technical Sales Engineer, was able to help Fielden Factors maximise the grants offered through the program.

“ I’ve known Tom and the team at Fielden Factors since I first took a demonstration unit to them

back in 2021. Since then we have worked closely to ensure its units are market leadering, with features such as FORS Gold kits for accurate vehicle tracking, remote camera access, as well as driver safety and convenience features including additional cones, lights and strobes.”

A sked why Fielden Factors chose MV Commercial, Whitehead adds: “They were quick to meet all our requirements for the vehicle specifications. And with MV carrying out all the work in-house, we have only needed Andy as our point of contact which has made sourcing the trucks an easy task.”

CHANGING TRENDS DEMAND NEW VANS MV SPORTS VANS

Vehicle specialist MV Commercial is to put a major focus on the supply of Ford Transit Custom vans with bespoke styling, in response to a huge rise in demand for sportier-looking light commercial vehicles on the lease and rent-to-buy market.

I t will initially offer two new trim levels, MV Sport and MV Sport+, with vehicles offered across the company’s nationwide depots, including its main sites in Luton, Haydock and Airdrie.

M V Commercial Managing Director, Steven Cairns, says: “Light commercial vehicle drivers’ tastes have definitely shifted up a gear, and demand for sportier-looking vans has shot up. More customers are coming to us looking for a vehicle which stands out on the road, and the launch of these two new models is in direct response.”

C ommenting on the source of the demand, he adds: “It’s a mixture of businesses seeking to differentiate themselves from competitors, and tradespeople working hard and wanting to reward themselves with something a little bit special to drive.”

T he company points to the highest demand for the new, sportier, vans coming from younger demographics which it says prioritise aesthetics and design as much as traditional van features such as cargo space, payload and power.

M V Commercial, which is best-known for supplying HGVs, has been growing its light commercial vehicle sales since formally entering the van market in 2021 with the opening of its dedicated van centre. It believes the availability of these new models, coupled with the ability to provide a full vehicle livery service, helps set it

apart from many rivals.

T he Ford Transit Custom MV Sport Edition features 18″ alloys, colourcoded handles, mirrors and trim, roof rails, Raptor grille, window & bonnet deflectors, side skirts and a front and rear spoiler.

T he MV Sport+ model retains most of these features, plus adds an XTS full body kit for the ultimate styling.

B oth MV Sport and MV Sport+ variants are available as 2.8-tonne vans, making them perfect to handle a wide range of cargo needs. The load space of each model measures 1,406 mm tall, 2,554 mm long and 1,775 mm wide.

A ll vehicles are powered by Ford’s proven EcoBlue engine range, which offers increased power and torque and, at the same time, deliver improved fuel economy and lower emissions.
