Sapphire’s new Charlton workshop offers a full range of inspection, maintenance and repair services for trucks and vans of all makes around the clock. The purpose-built site is already staffed by a team of four but, said regional manager Patrick McGlynn, the plan is to add more as soon as possible.
“We’re actively recruiting for heavy vehicle technicians who are looking for a great place to work with clear career development pathways,” he said. “At Sapphire, we place a great deal of emphasis on training and developing our people, so if you want to work your way up the ladder, get in touch soon.”
Sapphire boasts a network of 19 workshops across England and Scotland which together look after close to 30,000 vehicles, for a client list that includes some of the biggest fleets in the supermarket sector. The company is also an acknowledged leader in the fast-growing electric vehicle field.
The new Charlton site, at Riverside, just upstream of the Thames Barrier, sits next to a distribution centre operated by one of Sapphire’s customers but is open to all comers.
“This is a brand new, purpose-designed facility and offers a complete range of services to everyone from large fleet operators to single vehicle owner-drivers,” said Patrick. “It’s fully kitted out with all the tooling required to work on any brand of truck, including Jaltest diagnostic equipment, and is a great place to work.”
