Mudie-Bond, the franchised dealer for Mercedes Benz trucks, vans and the Mercedes Benz Unimog, operates from four centers in the UK, including premises in Northway Lane, Tewkesbury.
The company employs over 165 staff and has established an enviable reputation for quality, value and personal service. It boasts a comprehensive choice of new and approved used Mercedes-Benz trucks and vans for sale, as well as an experienced service department.
The success story began back in April 1987, when Richard Bond and Mike Mudie who where both working as general managers, bought Tewkesbury based Oldacre Services, then employing 25 people.
Their timing wasn’t as perfect as it might have been, because shortly after going into business together the UK was hit by a serious recession, which continued into the early 1990s. Road transport - always a good barometer of the general business climate - felt the effects earlier than many other sectors of the economy.
However, Mudie-Bond weathered these problems and came out strengthened by the experience. Initial major expansion came in 1995 when the company developed a sales and servicing dealership at Kidderminster where it moved into modern, purpose built premises
In 1998, Mercedes-Benz re structured its national commercial vehicle dealerships, cutting back from 56 dealers to just 26. Reacting to the new policy, Mudie-Bond then merged with the Evenlode Truck Centre based in Oxford – a highly regarded and well run company.
The most recent development occurred in July 2003 when the group acquired the premises of a commercial vehicle distributor at Brackley in Buckinghamshire and developed this into its fifth sales and servicing centre.
So in just 22 years, the company has developed from being a single site dealership, to the Mudie-Bond Group with an annual turnover of almost £45 million.
The Group remains focused on forging first class relationships with its customers. It vows that, whether you need one vehicle or a fleet, new or used, Mudie-Bond in partnership with Mercedes-Benz, will ensure that you operate the best vehicle that makes financial sense for your business.
