System Edström and KTD NE – keeping Vertu on the road
Vertu Motors plc is the fourth-largest automotive motor retailer in the United Kingdom, operating 200 dealerships and representing 33 manufacturers across the country. Within this extensive operation, Vertu Garage Assist serves as the in-house garage equipment service division, ensuring dealerships maintain peak operational efficiency.

Vertu Garage Assist has a team of eight strategically placed service engineers covering the UK, which requires a fleet of vans that can carry out both planned maintenance and emergency garage equipment repairs. 

David Johnson, Group Aftersales MOT & Equipment Manager at Vertu Motors, says: “As dealerships strive to meet the demands of a fast-paced market, the role of these engineers becomes increasingly vital. Their ability to provide planned preventive maintenance and on-the-spot solutions for garage equipment breakdowns ensures that dealerships can maintain high standards of service, enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty.

“What sets this team apart is not just their expertise but the innovative tools and equipment at their disposal. Each engineer is equipped with a specially designed van featuring a System Edström bespoke racking system, supplied and installed by KTD NE. This system is meticulously crafted to hold an array of spare parts and tools, ensuring that everything is within arm's reach. The design prioritises efficiency, allowing engineers to focus on what they do best keeping the workshop equipment running smoothly.”

By working closely together, KTD NE and System Edström delivered a high-quality, tailored racking solution that supports Vertu Garage Assist’s mission of providing outstanding service to the automotive workshops. 

“Having a well-thought-out racking design can not only optimise the use of space in the service vehicle but also make it easier to access tools and spares when needed, saving valuable time,” adds David. “KTD NE delivered the perfect solution. They reviewed and understood our requirements and presented us with the System Edström solution. 

“Delivering quality and value were critical factors when Garage Assist were looking for a racking solution for our vans. A supplier who can tailor their services or products to align with your goals, creates a strong foundation for a lasting partnership.”
