Chassis Cab – the Suffolk and Cambridgeshire-based DAF family-owned dealership – has appointed a new Area Parts Sales Manager to develop its after-sales service which supplies DAF, TRP and other parts and products to truck owners throughout the East of England region.
Paul Twilley (47) who lives at Bishop’s Stortford has worked in the truck retail sector for the past 16 years previously with another DAF truck dealership covering the North London area. His role will see him building relationships with all types of truck parts buyers ranging from global road transport companies to family businesses and owner operators. The parts sourced cover every model from the ultimate distribution LF Euro 6 truck to the largest DAF XF Euro 6 long haul truck – recently voted MotorTransort Fleet Truck of the Year 2016.
‘Truck business is still brisk at the moment as operators continue to update existing fleet and convert to upgraded models but the message is dealerships like Chassis Cab can help to keep trucks and trailers across region operating with maximum truck uptime.’
‘We can demonstrate to customers that we are a one-stop shop for all trucks and trailers parts taking the hassle out of fleet maintenance. Operators are often too busy to source the quality parts they need to keep pay-loads moving and that can be a false economy.’
‘Dealerships are usually just as competitive as other suppliers but more reliable and offer a premium support service that sets them apart from the competition. That’s why I am delighted to move to a truck dealership such as Chassis Cab that offers top quality service and the family business values that all fleet engineers and owner operators welcome and rely on.’
Commenting on his new appointment, Chassis Cab dealer principal Robert Baxter said: Paul has a key role to play in matching up customers with the parts and service that will keep them ahead in their field. He will be helping us to develop a customer-facing parts team that offers unrivalled experience and expertise.’
‘Our aim as always is to help truck owners to achieve the lowest cost of ownership combined with the highest possible profit per mile. That leaves them to focus on expanding and enhancing their business – whatever that may be!’
The new and used truck service available from the business covers sales, finance, repair and maintenance contracts and after sales support.
ChassisCab is a family owned business that has been the main DAF dealer for Suffolk since the early 1990s; and for Cambridgeshire since 2014 maintaining the dealership’s status as the only HGV commercial franchise located within Cambridge. Starting out as a commercial vehicle accident repair centre, ChassisCab has grown to become one of the premier dealers for DAF and a leading supplier of trucks in the region.
Based at Newmarket Road in Cambridge, Addison Way in Great Blakenham, Northern Way in Bury St Edmunds, and at Isleham in Cambridgeshire, ChassisCab now employs over 110 members of staff between its separate locations.
Chassis Cab distributes and sells DAF Parts, PACCAR Parts and TRP Truck & Trailer Parts as part of the DAF UK dealer network.
