Crossroads complete acquisition of Hartshorne Group

The has been an acquisition in West Yorkshire, as Crossroads Truck & Bus completed the takeover of Hartshorne Group, a Midlands-based company which, like Crossroads, are a truck trader, specifically for Volvo.

The two businesses will continue operate with their own identities, running as individual companies, but within the same group. Martin Cronin, the Managing Director of Crossroads, said:

The addition of Hartshorne to the Group will give us greater opportunity to add value to customer's operations by providing consistency and continuity across the key distribution centres of the Midlands and Yorkshire. We believe, that by working together, we can create even more opportunities for our employees, provide even greater customer service locally and build for the long-term future of both businesses.

Between the two companies, they employ nearly 1000 members of staff across 20 separate Volvo dealerships, and produce a turnover of £200 million per year. Their pedigree is shown in Crossroads' status as former holder of the Motor transport Dealer of the Year award.
