Mobilit y vehicle exper ts really growing places!

ALLIED Vehicles is boosting production to more than 7,500 vehicles a year – and recruiting more staff – as it prepares to make inroads into the European market.

They are looking for more than 70 people to join its team, mostly in its pre-production and production areas, after two years of a postCovid famine, exacerbated by global vehicle supply problems and the war in Ukraine

The Glasgow-based family firm, established almost 30 years ago, converts a variety of vehicles to make them suitable for wheelchair users, both passengers and drivers

Operations director George McAdam said: “The plans we have put in place will bring an additional 78 people into the business

“During the slump we had less than a day’s worth of cars at times Now, for the first time in about 18 months, we are getting a week to two weeks’ worth of base vehicles here ready to convert ”

Peter Facenna, the company’s managing director, added: “Most people probably think we only make things here for Glasgow and Scotland, but we make them for all of the UK and now, most of western Europe ”
