Extending 'one stop' customer appeal
Two new businesses - 24th January 2006
Two new businesses for the Thompsons Group significantly extend their 'one stop' customer appeal

Thompsons, the UK's leading provider of tipper bodies, ancillary equipment and related services, has just set up two new businesses within its Group portfolio.

Charlton (Vehicle Finishers) Ltd

The first is Charlton (Vehicle Finishers) Ltd which has been established with the aim of significantly expanding Charlton's existing paintshop and vehicle preparation activities.

Located alongside Charlton's extensive bodybuilding factory at Dover, CVF's latest specification paintshop and preparation booths represent an investment of over £200,000, and aims to be working on a double-shifted basis up to 18 hours per day.

In addition to painting, CVF will also be able to offer vehicle refurbishment services too, thereby offering a valuable service to both buyers and sellers of used vehicles, many of which are only 3 to 5 years old.

Covermaster Systems Ltd

The second new Thompsons Group business is Covermaster Systems Ltd, which will supply a variety of sheeting systems not only for newly built Thompsons and Charlton bodies, but also as direct sales to tipper operators and end users.

Covermaster, which operates from Thompsons Croydon HQ, is to offer both electric and manually operated front to rear sheets as preferred in muckaway and heavy duty applications, as well as side to side sheeting systems as favoured in quarrying and tarmac operations.

In addition, Covermaster sheets will also be specified for use with skiploaders and hookloaders - these bodytypes being built by Thompsons at their facility in Wigan, Lancashire.

Scott Burton of Thompsons says that "the establishment of CVF and Covermaster significantly extends our overall level of service to the tipping industry by offering operators ever more professional and closely integrated activities. More and more, today's busy hauliers are looking for 'one stop' solutions to each and all of their requirements.

Thompsons recognises that this is the level of support we must be offering, and by giving these businesses their own individual focus, their potential for growth is maximised."
