The RMI Federation (RMIF) is keeping a watching brief on the unfolding situation at van maker LDV, after it went into administration last week.

Sue Robinson, its franchised dealer director, said: “While it is good news that LDV has secured an injection of capital from American Equity firm Sun Capital, the federation will be ready to support its LDV franchised members and the LDV Dealer Council should it be necessary.”

Robinson said no details had emerged as yet, but it is understood production is being progressively prepared to restart ‘just as soon as the supply pipeline can be replenished’.
