To say that last year was tough economically speaking would be a huge understatement. While there were many businesses that struggled to turn a profit, there were some that saw growth during the previous year; one of the companies that were able to expand despite the tough economic conditions was Anchor Vans, one of the top used van dealers in the United Kingdom.

Anchor Vans shared how they went against the trend during a time of recession. Anchor Vans announced the opening of a newly constructed facility in Padworth at the Anchor Vans business park. Anchor Vans huge success enabled them to expand upon their vehicle servicing provision and as a result Anchor was able to add more laborers to their staff. The complex that Anchor was able to open in 2009 has 12,000 sq. ft. of office space and workshops with areas for classes four, five and seven MOTS, covering all automobiles, vans, and minibuses.
The opening of the new complex was a great beginning for Anchor Vans in 2009, as it allowed Anchor Vans to provide more services for their customers in 2009 and in the years to come. According to Simon Joyce of Anchor Vans, the complex added last March enabled Anchor Vans to take care of three times the amount of servicing than they had previously been able to do, and also gave them three major service contracts with NSN, Master Lease and 1 link.
While the recession may have hurt some in the automotive industry, Anchor Vans seems to have ridden the bad economic tide very well.
