To meet the needs of Tesco's demanding distribution schedule and minimise downtime, the seven bay workshop is open round the clock from Monday to Friday and works extended hours at the weekend.  Six staff are directly employed at the facility.

"Having worked closely in conjunction with Scania for many years, we have complete confidence in the ability of the team at Goole to maintain the fleet to the standards we require," comments Tesco Regional Engineer, John Larosa.  "Scania was already servicing the Stobart fleet in the area before our new centre opened and, given they also provide a full trailer and tail-lift maintenance service, it made perfect sense to extend the relationship by appointing them to operate the new vehicle maintenance unit on our behalf.  The total maintenance solution Scania provides offers considerable operational benefits, especially in terms of the improved communication which comes from having a single supplier with a complete overview of all our servicing and maintenance needs."
