TrustFord has opened its fleet distribution centre at Long Marston Business Park, in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

The Long Marston facility is the biggest dedicated Ford dealer logistics centre in the UK.

The expanded site will serve as a national fleet hub, able to store about 7,000 vehicles, and will handle all fleet logistics requirements from vehicle storage, preparation and onward delivery to customers. It also has dedicated areas for any vehicle modifications from sign writing to ply lining and a state of the art smart repair and bodyshop facility.
