More Expertise, More Products and More Support for Fleet Operators Across Yorkshire
Mackworth Vehicle Conversions Expands into Bradford!
Choosing the right truck body builder is about more than finding a local manufacturer. You need a partner with the experience, technical expertise and manufacturing capability to keep your fleet productive for years to come. That is exactly what Mackworth Vehicle Conversions now offers across both Derby and Bradford.
We are proud to announce that Mackworth Vehicle Conversions has expanded into Bradford, taking on the former Roco Truck Bodies site and team. The Bradford operation now trades as Mackworth Vehicle Conversions Bradford, formerly Roco Truck Bodies, bringing together two expert commercial vehicle manufacturing teams under one trusted name.
Same team. Stronger business.
Steve Jones continues as Workshop Manager at the Bradford site, keeping the relationships and local knowledge that Roco customers have relied on for decades firmly in place. Alongside Steve, Scott Dunnicliffe, Head of Production across both Mackworth sites, brings structured production processes and shared manufacturing expertise that will strengthen how the Bradford operation runs day to day.
Between them, Steve and Scott represent exactly what this expansion is about: experienced people, working together, with more resource and capability behind them than ever before.
Paul Chambers, Sales Manager for both sites, brings decades of sector experience to every customer conversation, ensuring the solutions specified fit the demands of day-to-day fleet operations and are built to last.
Overseeing both sites is Andrew Kent, Head of Vehicle Conversions at Motus Vehicle Solutions, whose 25 years of experience across the commercial vehicle sector provides the strategic direction and operational leadership to bring the very best of both businesses together.
Why this matters for fleet operators
With two manufacturing facilities, a dedicated design team and over 65 years of combined experience in commercial vehicle body building and fleet vehicle conversions, Mackworth brings real and practical improvements to the service Bradford customers receive.
Scott is working closely with Steve and the Bradford team to align ways of working, share production knowledge and raise standards across the board. Improved processes across design, build and aftercare also mean improved lead times, great quality of vehicle bodies and a smooth experience from specification through to handover, making Mackworth Vehicle Conversions Bradford an efficient and capable truck body manufacturer with the resource and expertise to handle everything from a single bespoke build to a full fleet conversion programme.
Compliance you can count on
For fleet operators, procurement compliance is not optional. Mackworth holds certification through VBTA and VCA Type Approval, meaning every commercial vehicle conversion leaving our workshops is designed and manufactured to recognised industry standards. This provides confidence that vehicles meet the required compliance criteria before entering service, helping reduce risk during procurement and giving fleet managers one less thing to worry about.
Design capability built around your application
Our dedicated design team is now available to Bradford customers too, supporting bespoke builds and complex applications with precision and speed. Whether you are specifying a standard body or something entirely bespoke for a specialist application, there is now significantly more expertise behind every quote and every build. That design capability, backed by decades of fleet experience and production knowledge, means better outcomes for operators and vehicles that are built right first time.
One of the most significant additions now available to Bradford customers is Streamline Pro™, Mackworth’s latest innovation in lightweight commercial vehicle body technology.
Streamline Pro™ has been developed using decades of fleet experience, combining lightweight construction, practical design and manufacturer compatibility to give operators greater payload capacity, improved fuel efficiency and a consistent, reliable solution across multiple chassis. For fleet managers under pressure to reduce operating costs and meet increasingly demanding efficiency targets, it represents a genuine step forward in what a truck body builder can offer.
Streamline Pro™ is one of a number of new products and services now available through Mackworth Vehicle Conversions Bradford, alongside a broader range of body and conversion solutions that were not previously accessible through the Roco site.
Backed by Motus Vehicle Solutions
As part of Motus Vehicle Solutions, Bradford customers also benefit from the wider capabilities of the group, including nationwide aftercare support, specialist parts supply and ongoing vehicle maintenance. That level of backing sets Mackworth apart from many independent bodybuilders and gives fleet operators confidence that support does not stop at the point of delivery.
