Traffic management and safety vehicle provider Blakedale has opened a new branch in Glasgow, marking the company's first permanent location in Scotland.
Located in Queenslie, just off Junction 10 of the M8 in east Glasgow, the new site will offer a wide range of specialist vehicles and solutions, including impact protection vehicles (IPVs), 3.5t traffic management vehicles, mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs), arb units and welfare vans, as well as fleet consultancy and vehicle maintenance support.
The new branch also adds to the support for Northgate Group customers as part of the One Road initiative, which is formed of Northgate, Blakedale, FridgeXpress and ChargedEV to provide ‘a single point of contact' for vehicle hire, fleet management, specialist vehicle builds and electrification services.
Jon Taylor, managing director at Blakedale, said: ‘Opening our Glasgow branch is a significant milestone for Blakedale as we continue to expand our national coverage. Establishing a permanent presence in Scotland allows us to better support customers operating in the region, with specialist vehicles and expertise whilst also having the capability to work with a whole host of new customers.'
