Flash news – Shoprite Truck order

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 News by admin

In a graphic demonstration that CP Nel Motors in Mossel Bay has grown to be a company of substance, this local company has recently secured a major order from one of South Africa’s Supermarket Giants for 14 large Isuzu Trucks.

The order, which is worth close to R7 million, covers a total of 14 F-Series Isuzu Trucks, which will be delivered to Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth, with one truck going all the way to Maputo.

As a further demonstration of the commitment of the team at CP Nel Motors, all of the deliveries and handovers will be completed by the management themselves. In the words of Malcolm McClelland, the Dealer Principal : “We have four of us who specifically took the code EC driving test with PDP, in order that we are able to provide the level of service to all truck customers which they deserve. Three of us are in effect the ownership and management structure of the Company, and the fourth “driver” is Fransie Johnstone, the Sales Executive who is co-ordinating the massive transaction. Interestingly enough, the fourth ownership partner, Gail McKeown also actually does have an EC licence, but she chooses not to spend hours on the road fetching the trucks in Johannesburg and delivering them around the Country”.
