A leader in commercial vehicle conversions has announced a landmark £10m investment to expand its offering.
Stockton on Tees-based CPD is purchasing more vehicles, ensuring £6m in stock availability, including a broad selection of brand-new single and double cab chassis, ready to be converted into tippers, dropsides, and Luton vans. Panel vans designed for customisations such as welfare vans, passenger transport, and specialist shelving and racking configurations are also part of the expansion. With all vehicles in stock and available for rapid nationwide delivery, CPD is meeting the demand for reliable, versatile vehicle solutions.
As part of this investment, CPD has significantly expanded its range of fully electric models, reflecting its continued commitment to supporting the UK’s transition to zero-emission transport. Already, a significant percentage of the company’s current orders are for electric vehicle conversions, highlighting the growing demand from businesses eager to future-proof their fleets and reduce their carbon footprint.
This investment also included £250,000 for a new spray booth and £1m for a new facility, boosting production capacity, agility, and delivery speed.
“This investment reflects our commitment to empowering UK businesses with innovative, reliable vehicle solutions,” said Cathal Doocey, Managing Director of CPD Bodies.
“As the demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, we’re proud to support businesses in future-proofing their fleets with sustainable, zero-emission options. Whether it’s a sole trader or a fleet manager, we’re here to deliver purpose-built conversions, ready for rapid delivery, to drive success and support a greener future.”
This investment comes at a time of growth for CPD. The company has just celebrated its inclusion in the Ward Hadaway North East Fastest 50 list for 2024, where it ranked 3rd, recognising its rapid expansion and innovative approach. Alongside this, the company recently unveiled a dynamic rebrand for both CPD and its sister company VanDemand, featuring a refreshed visual identity and user-friendly websites designed to enhance customer experience. These milestones, coupled with leadership appointments and record-breaking production figures, reflect CPD’s commitment to innovation, quality, and supporting UK businesses with high-performance vehicle solutions.
