Finding the right location

It was back in the eighties, that the Volvo Group took the brave decision to move its established national Truck and Bus headquarters and Parts Warehouse over 300 miles from Irvine in Scotland to the Midlands.

It was originally decided that Warwickshire offered the best solution, being central to our business and offering faster response times as the area was located less than three hours from over 90% of our truck and bus customers.

A location in Warwick was eventually chosen because of the ready availability of an automotive-based workforce and the announcement in 1983 that the soon-to-be–built M40 motorway would pass close to the town, affording good access both to our burgeoning UK distributor and dealer network and our supply base in Gent, Belgium.
