CMV Truck & Bus are pleased to announce the recent acquisition of Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs in Warrnambool, Victoria.
Located on Victoria’s south-west coast, Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs has represented CMV Truck & Bus in the Warrnambool and surrounding regions for both parts supply and truck servicing and repairs of Volvo Trucks & Buses, UD Trucks and Mack Trucks for the last 12 years.
Founded in 2010 by Anthony and Catherine Convey, and Phil and Tanya Noonan, Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs is the largest heavy-duty truck repair centre between Geelong and Mount Gambier. Remaining a family-owned business to this day, and upholding values similar to that of the CMV Group, the business has grown over time and today employs a staff of 7 people who support a significant customer base in the Warrnambool region. All Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs staff will be offered employment with CMV Truck & Bus and we look forward to welcoming them into the CMV family.
Reflecting on the recent acquisition, David Simmons, CMV Group Chairman, said “We look forward to bringing the Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs business and their staff into the CMV Group fold. We’re committed to maintaining the strong customer service and focus the Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs customers in the region have experienced over the years.”
Phil Noonan of Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs said, “After 13 years in partnership, 12 of which we have worked alongside CMV Truck & Bus, we are pleased to announce the transition of ownership to the CMV Group. We believe the standards and integrity of Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs will continue with the CMV Group as the company upholds values and principles similar to ours.”
“Anthony and I, along with Catherine and Tanya and all our current employees, will continue to apply our years of experience, knowledge and business relationships with assisting in the continual growth of Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs.”
Miles Crawford, General Manager of CMV Truck & Bus says of this new acquisition, “Anthony and Catherine Convey, and Phil and Tanya Noonan have been outstanding business partners over the last 12 years, and have continued to grow their operation through a focus on customer service, strong communication and business relationships”.
“We look forward to working with Anthony, Catherine, Phil and Tanya through the transition period, and supporting all staff and customers moving forward”.
Paul Crawford, CMV Group Managing Director, said “At the CMV Group, we are passionate about supporting the communities within which we operate, and we look forward to maintaining and enhancing the strong presence that Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs has created in Victoria’s south-west coast.”
From a staff of five in 1934, the CMV Group now runs substantial operations in automotive dealerships and agriculture predominately in Victoria and South Australia, employing more than 1,700 staff. CMV also administers the CMV Group Foundation, a charitable trust which channels the Group’s distributable profit back into the community through donations to worthy causes.
The CMV Group’s commitment to the state of Victoria, its businesses and its communities is demonstrated by their continual investment in further developing facilities, their dedication to improving efficiencies and elevating customer service levels within the automotive industry. They remain committed to employing local talented staff, wherever possible.
At this stage, we expect that the date of transfer will be February 6, 2023 and we are pleased to advise that Anthony, Catherine and Phil have agreed to remain with the business to assist us and the Warrnambool Truck & Trailer Repairs team with the transition.
