New head office for Daimler groups

The move follows the formation of Daimler Truck UK Limited, the wholesale distributor for Mercedes-Benz Trucks and FUSO Trucks in Great Britain, and Mercedes-Benz Trucks in Northern Ireland, earlier this year.

The opening of the new site at Willen, Milton Keynes, represents a significant change. Previously, the businesses were run from premises near Tongwell, shared with the UK headquarters of Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars, Vans and Financial Services. Now, for the first time, the two companies are sole occupants of their own home. The new building was already in use, with Daimler Truck UK’s Parts Logistics Centre based in its 140,000 sq ft of warehouse space. Following completion of work to create a state-of-the-art office suite for all Truck colleagues, the entire operation is on one site again.

Heiko Selzam, managing director, Daimler Truck UK and Nick Andrews, managing director of Daimler Truck Financial Services UK cut the tape to officially declare the new building open. They were joined for the occasion by representatives from Daimler Truck’s global headquarters in Stuttgart – Jean Marc Diss, head of sales & marketing, and Florian Schulz, head of sales and customer services FUSO Europe.

Selzam commented:

The opening of this site represents the final step in the process of dedicating ourselves entirely to the needs of truck operators, and our dealer network, in the UK.

Andrews added:

We can now work even more closely with our Sales and Aftersales colleagues to bring our full suite of products to UK truck operators, to help find the most cost-efficient solutions to the wide range of challenges faced by the transport industry today and into the future.
