According to a report from The Bolton News, WN VTech called in administrators due to supply chain “challenges” - it has since been confirmed that Mellor, along with Treka, VCS, Promech Technologies, Coleman Milne and JM Engineering, will be rescued following the Dumarey acquisition, allaying fears of significant job losses.

Mellor Bus was just another vehicle conversion specialist before it started taking Ducato vans and installing them with electric powertrains. Now, according to Gustavo Marqueta-Siibert, Group Business Development Director for Mellor’s parent, WN VTech Ltd, Mellor is challenging the major European bus manufacturers in segments and applications which have thus far been neglected in the transition to electric vehicles.

Morgan replaces Mark Clissett, who was appointed to the role in 2021 and left the company at the end of January of this year.

Emergency service vehicle specialist VCS Ltd has revealed a range of new concepts for ambulance, police and fire services based on an Ultra-Low-Floor-Architecture platform developed by ProMech Technologies.

Woodall Nicholson Holdings Ltd has acquired the entire share capital of JM Engineering Ltd and Promech Solutions Ltd.
