After nearly thirty years in Thame, Oxfordshire, DAF Trucks in the UK is moving to a new facility in neighbouring Haddenham, Buckinghamshire. Last week, an official groundbreaking ceremony took place that signals the beginning of a £20 million investment that is “Instrumental in further strengthening DAF’s market leading position in the UK”, commented Ray Ashworth, DAF Trucks UK Managing Director.
Senior executives from DAF Trucks N.V. and PACCAR Inc. were joined at the ground-breaking ceremony by Simon Smits, the Dutch Ambassador to the UK, as well as representatives from the local authorities and the project management company. The new three-story facility will be complete in July 2018 and will have almost 50,000 sq.ft. of office space. The DAF Trucks UK headquarters will include a state-of-the-art auditorium, as well as an ultra-modern four-bay workshop to offer world class training facilities for DAF Dealers and employees.
