Pendragon has announced its Chatsfield centres have become part of its Evans Halshaw business.

They will continue to represent the truck manufacturer DAF Trucks UK at the current locations.

Enabling the brand to strengthen their digital presence with a dedicated DAF Truck, used truck and van sales brand hub on Evanshalshaw.com, a significant investment in marketing and website development is planned for the future.

Evans Halshaw will maintain the business’ long association with DAF Trucks - continuing to offer 24 hour aftermarket operations, new DAF vehicle sales, used truck and van sales, truck body and paint shop and ATF lanes, alongside servicing, maintenance and repairs on all makes and models of commercial vehicles.

The 400-strong team will remain in place at the brand’s four locations in Birtley, Leeds, Sheffield and Stockton.

Wayne Edwards, Evans Halshaw DAF national franchise director, said: “Joining the Evans Halshaw Group will enable us to offer our customers an even better service with a strengthened digital presence as part of the UK’s largest volume car retailer.”
