Cramlington vehicle repair firm opens new £500k repair centre

A North East vehicle company has announced the opening of its new £500k service and repair centre.

Heathline Commercials Limited has opened the new centre to ensure commercial vehicles remain on the road during the COVID-19 emergency.

The Cramlington-based firm had been due to move into the 6,000sq ft unit on Bolam Business Park in December but work was hampered by freezing winter temperatures.

The new building allows Heathline to “significantly improve” its facilities and range of services.

Gavin Cape, engineering director of Heathline Commercials Ltd, commented: “We were all looking forward to officially opening this modern building and showing it off to our many customers, but delays meant the completion date ended up coinciding with the coronavirus lockdown.

“Heathline serves a number of businesses running commercial vehicles across Northumberland and Tyneside, so any further delay was not an option and we needed to open to ensure these essential vehicles remain on the road.

“Our staff are obviously following safe working practices and our customers know we are open, and business is growing.

“It may not be what we planned, but like a lot of businesses we are just getting on with things.”
