CPD, a leading name in premium commercial vehicle conversions, is celebrating a successful 2024 with impressive growth, award recognition, a fresh new rebrand and new hires.

Founded in 2009, CPD has become a significant player in the commercial vehicle conversion industry. The company delivers bespoke, high-performance vehicle solutions to sectors including logistics, construction, utilities, and emergency services. In 2024 alone, CPD completed over 5,500 vehicle conversions – a remarkable leap from 2,800 in 2019, achieved through the shift from batch to line production to meet increased demand. The company now produces a Tipper every 45 minutes, a Dropside every 2 hours and a Luton vehicle every 2 hours. In addition, CPD Bodies operates on a sprawling 32-acre facility and has secured type approval with all major OEMS, ensuring flexibility and compliance at scale.

CPD has been recognised for its outstanding growth by being named third in the prestigious Ward Hadaway North East Fastest 50 list for 2024. This accolade highlights the company’s rapid expansion, innovative approach, and continued success in delivering high-quality solutions to businesses across the UK.

Cathal Doocey, Founder and Managing Director of CPD, commented: “It’s an honour to be recognised in the Ward Hadaway Fastest 50 list. This achievement reflects the dedication of our team and our commitment to delivering top-quality products and services to clients nationwide. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on innovation and investment to stay ahead in the commercial vehicle conversion market. We’re excited about what the future holds.”

In line with its impressive growth, CPD and its sister company VanDemand have unveiled a dynamic new visual identity and website as part of a comprehensive rebrand. The rebrand, developed in partnership with local Middlesbrough-based branding agency Better and Newcastle-based digital agency Venture Stream, reflects the company’s forward-thinking approach while retaining the trusted name that customers have relied on for years.

The rebrand introduces a modernised logo and vibrant visual style, alongside a refreshed website that makes it easier for customers to explore CPD Bodies’ wide range of services. The new websites CPD and VanDemand offer a user-friendly interface, allowing fleet managers and sole traders alike to access detailed product information and manage orders efficiently. The refreshed branding underscores CPD and VanDemand’s ethos of quality, speed, and customer focus, aligning with its mission to continue delivering exceptional service and solutions.
