Direct Commercial Celebrates Golden Jubilee in Style (4th June 2002)

Direct represent Daewoo Truck UK for the S Humberside and Lincolnshire areas, offering a 24 hour, 7 day service.

Brigg based Direct Commercial Vehicle Services signed a new dealership contract with Daewoo Avia trucks during the Birmingham Commercial Vehicle Show at the beginning of May, and placed an order on the stand for one of the show’s star attractions – a D75 chassis cab. This is no ordinary truck however – it is one of a limited number of Gold Edition D-Line chassis being built by Daewoo Avia in celebration of the Queen’s 50th jubilee. 

Direct’s management team, headed by Managing Director, Sylvia Wainwright, took one look at the truck and decided to reserve it quickly as their new demonstrator. Sylvia said, “It really was a great opportunity to launch our new dealership with a bang. The D75 Gold Edition is fully equipped and apart from the usual full equipment, the truck is also equipped with air-conditioning, and of course a very tasteful gold paint job.” 

The new D75 Gold Edition demonstrator entered service directly after the jubilee celebrations were over, and Sylvia Wainwright has a long list of potential customers who wish to test drive the vehicle. “We’ve decided to personally demonstrate the truck to anyone who contacts us for a quotation – it’s the best way to really explain the many benefits this truck has,” she explained.
