RH Commercial Vehicles expands territory with acquisition of new site in Coventry

RHCV has announced the acquisition of Renault Truck Commercials Coventry dealership for an undisclosed sum, making them one of the leading independent distributors in the Renault Trucks Network.

Alongside their Head Office in Nottingham, opened in December 2022, RHCV now has eight sites strategically located across the Midlands.

The Coventry depot is located in Nuneaton within five minutes of Junction 3 of the M6. The 2.3-acre site features modern workshop facilities, with four drive-through bays. Alongside commercial truck service and repair, other services include 24/7 breakdown assistance, specialist LCV service and repair, Used Trucks centre and Tachograph Centre.

This acquisition reflects RHCV’s business development goals as they continue to expand their network coverage and service offer across the Midlands.

Over the past five years, RHCV has invested heavily in expanding its service offering.

In 2019 the company opened its purpose-built workshop facility in Nottingham. In 2022, the redevelopment of their Northampton depot commenced and was completed in September 2024 which has seen a six-bay workshop and class 7 MOT lane and a dedicated LCV centre built alongside extensive refurbishment to customer and employee amenities and office accommodation; in 2021, the firm opened a new site in Newark and acquired its Peterborough workshop facility to further extend their offering in the East Midlands. In the spring of 2024 RHCVan was launched to extend a main dealer standard service and repair option to all makes of van operators.

The Change of management will come into effect on 1st November 2024.

Nigel Baxter, Managing Director of RHCV, comments: “We are delighted to announce this exciting news, and I am looking forward to welcoming all the existing twenty-three employees at Coventry into the RH ‘family’.

This acquisition allows us to extend our offer for quality service and values, extending our coverage into the West Midlands.

This change makes us one of the leading independent distributors in the Renault Trucks Network.

I am immensely proud of our development since 2012 and the growth we have achieved in that time.

The addition of the Coventry facility alongside new colleagues will further complement our skilled, loyal, and dedicated team, whose efforts continue to drive the business forward.”
