Hubbard Products, has officially opened a new transport refrigeration service centre in Chorley to cater for customers in the Northwest and is further expanding it’s commercial, transport and special projects refrigeration operation with the establishment of a West Midland’s sales and administration facility.
The 4,000 square foot Chorley site offers full installation and maintenance services for the complete range of Hubbard and Zanotti vehicle refrigeration systems and has been fitted out to meet Hubbard’s usual high standards and will serve as a base for Hubbard engineers.
Situated close to the M61 giving easy access for vehicle bodybuilders throughout Cumbria, the Northwest and North Wales the Chorley site offers installation packages for commercial vehicle bodybuilders and dealers. A full servicing programme will also be available allowing fleet managers and owner-drivers to deliver vehicles to the centre for scheduled servicing. Hubbard customers in the area will also be able to get refurbishment work done.
Jim Whittlam, Service Director of Hubbard, comments: “Following a highly successful year for Hubbard we are committed to providing the best possible after sales customer service too. In addition to installation the new sites will provide a comprehensive preventative maintenance service, which includes the use of fully calibrated equipment, ensuring that vehicle downtime is kept to a minimum.”
The sales and administration facility based at Tipton in the West Midlands is designed to create additional growth for Hubbard by drawing on the wide range of engineering skills that are becoming available as automotive and general engineering companies seeking to downsize release highly qualified personnel onto the jobs market.
Pat Maughan, Managing Director of Hubbard products says; “The West Midlands is an ideal location from which to develop our international business, with the exchange rate in favour of exporters, the opportunities for Hubbard Products in developing new approaches to static and mobile refrigeration and chilling equipment is one which we are keen to seize. As part of the international Zanotti Group of Refrigeration and Climate Control Companies we already have an established worldwide distribution and sales organisation which is set to benefit from our UK division’s investment and acknowledged excellence in product development and innovation. The establishment of our Tipton facility means that we can access a wider and more diverse range of highly trained skill sets”.
