Chamber welcomes its latest strategic partner

East Midlands Chamber has announced a vehicle conversions specialist as its latest strategic partner.

Mackworth Vehicle Conversions – part of Motus Vehicle Solutions, a division of Motus Group UK – provides type-approved vehicle bodies for fleet operators across the UK, in sectors that include utilities, construction, highways and logistics.

The firm has been part of the Derby business community since the 1960s and employs over 60 people across design, engineering, production and customer support with all manufacturing taking place at its Derby facility.

Becoming a strategic partner of East Midlands Chamber will enable the firm to engage with its 4,000-strong membership across the region and influence the shaping of policy when it meets political leaders.

Scott Knowles, the chamber’s chief executive, said: “Mackworth Vehicle Conversions is a long-established Derby employer and contributor to the city’s economy.

“Derby has a proud history of innovative design, production and manufacture so to be part of that story is worthy of recognition.

“I’m pleased to welcome Mackworth Vehicle Conversions as a strategic partner of the chamber and look forward to working more closely together.”
