East Midlands Chamber has announced Mackworth Vehicle Conversions is to become a strategic partner.
Mackworth Vehicle Conversions – part of Motus Vehicle Solutions, a division of Motus Group UK – provides type-approved vehicle bodies for fleet operators across the UK, in sectors that include utilities, construction, highways and logistics.
The firm has been part of the Derby business community since the 1960s and employs over 60 people across design, engineering, production and customer support with all manufacturing taking place at its Derby facility.
Over the last 18 months, the business has been developing ‘Streamline Pro’ – a standardised range of light commercial vehicle bodies that aims to speed up quoting, approvals and build time.
Becoming a strategic partner of East Midlands Chamber will enable Mackworth Vehicle Conversions to engage with the Chamber’s 4000-strong membership across the region and influence the shaping of policy when it meets political leaders.
East Midlands Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: “Mackworth Vehicle Conversions is a long-established Derby employer and contributor to the city’s economy. Derby has a proud history of innovative design, production and manufacture so to be part of that story is worthy of recognition.
“I’m pleased to welcome Mackworth Vehicle Conversions as a strategic partner of the Chamber and look forward to working more closely together.”
Mackworth Vehicle Conversions General Manager Andrew Kent said: “Partnering with the Chamber brings us closer to a network of organisations who care about the strength of the East Midlands economy. It gives us the space to champion our sector, learn from different industries, and make connections that support growth across the region.
“We are looking forward to becoming more involved in the business community and working together on the opportunities the Chamber creates.”
