Clark Commercials is Scotland’s leading independent commercial vehicles specialist and, with sites in Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh, it has the east coast of Scotland covered.

Dedicated to the Volkswagen commercial vehicle brand, the three state-of-the-art showrooms feature some of the most technologically advanced new and approved used vehicles on the market.

Also offered is an aftersales service, comprehensive vehicle rental operation and Volkswagen finance packages.

“No customers’ needs are ever the same,” explains Kenny Aitken, sales manager at Volkswagen Van Centre Edinburgh.

“Our emphasis is on working in partnership with van owners to establish their business and lifestyle needs. Whether it’s a sole trader, a fleet manager responsible for a large number of vehicles, or simply the need for a wheelchair adapted vehicle, we can find the right solution.”

Companies including BEAR Scotland, Frontline Construction, Brian Hewitt Construction, Velux Windows and Gordon Anderson Plant (GAP) have all benefited from the ‘Clark Commercials service.’

GAP, which currently operates a fleet of Volkswagen Caddy, Transporter and Crafter vans, has now introduced the Crafter chassis cabs for bespoke conversions to its national fleet.

Bobby Allan, fleet disposal and transport manager at GAP, said:

“The Volkswagen brand’s quality build and low running costs, combined with the service from the Edinburgh team, gave us the confidence to choose a single brand provider for our needs.

“As we have worked with Volkswagen Van Centre Edinburgh for many years we know they understand our needs and can comfortably meet our deadlines and requirements.”

Clark Commercials is part of the prestigious John Clark motor group which has been looking after the needs of Scottish drivers for more than 38 years. The growing family-run and owned business now operates 21 dealerships across the country.

The Edinburgh business was the company’s first Volkswagen commercial vehicles site which opened in 1999, with its Aberdeen site joining the group six years ago. Most recently, in 2011, Clark Commercials Dundee was launched.

“It’s not just about selling a van these days,” added Kenny, “as the Volkswagen range expands so do our services. We have seen a growing need for more dropside, tippers and Luton vans which we provide through our Engineered-to-go service.

“The Volkswagen brand is renowned for its quality build, low running costs and strong residual value, and our three different locations enable us to strengthen our service offering for existing customers, reach more new van operators across Scotland and helps us to grow the business in 2105.”
