CICELEY Commercials has announced plans to create a new £8 million Mercedes-Benz Truck and Bus dealership at Eurocentral, Lanarkshire.
Work on the new site will begin shortly, with a temporary workshop expected to open mid-2026 to provide servicing and maintenance during construction of the main building. The full dealership is scheduled to open in autumn 2026.
Ciceley has appointed Clark Contracts as main contractor for the project, which is tipped to create around 40 jobs for local people.
Situated on a 4.75-acre plot at Eurocentral, the dealership will include 12 work bays; an authorised testing facility lane; service, parts and sales facilities for Mercedes-Benz trucks; and service and parts facilities for Mercedes-Benz buses.
“We’re thrilled to be expanding our support network into Scotland,” said Andy Heys, dealer principal at Ciceley Commercials. “Working closely with Mercedes-Benz, we’ve secured the ideal location and designed a facility that truly reflects the needs of Scottish truck operators.
“This marks an exciting new chapter for Ciceley, but while we grow, we remain true to our roots and proud of our family business culture. Our story began in the early 1970s when Brian Morgan opened a fruit and veg stall in Blackburn. When Brian started maintaining his own delivery truck, word soon spread, and other stallholders asked him to do the same for their vehicles. From there, he developed a passion for commercial vehicles and worked tirelessly to become one of the very first Mercedes-Benz franchise dealers in the UK.
“Today, at 93, Brian is still involved in the business, alongside the rest of the Morgan family. His son Russell is now our chairman, and his grandsons Adam and Sam play an active role in day-to-day operations. That sense of family, care, and dedication is what drives us forward, and it will continue to shape everything we do in Scotland and beyond.”
Daimler Truck UK welcomed the announcement, recognising the investment as a milestone in strengthening the brand’s support network across Scotland.
“We are delighted to be working in close partnership with Ciceley Commercials on this important development,” said Leonhard Niemann, head of dealer network development at Daimler Truck UK. “Ciceley’s reputation for customer dedication and operational excellence makes them the ideal partner to support our customers in Scotland.”
Michael Scanlan, director at Clark Contracts, commented, “We’re delighted to have been appointed to deliver this project for Ciceley Commercials and look forward to collaborating with our new client and the wider design team as work gets underway on site.”
