ROADSIDE Vehicle Services, a Paisley business launched by Brian McVey and his son David in 1992, has hit the £1 million annual turnover mark ahead of an expansion programme, which is being backed by Bank of Scotland.
The bank has provided Roadside Vehicle Services, which is engaged in activities including MOT-testing, breakdown recovery and fleet hire, with loan-funding of £25,000 towards an overall £100,000 refurbishment of its Paisley premises.
The re-designed facility, in Underwood Road, will enable the company to increase its work-flow and offer a wider range of services. Roadside Vehicle Services employs eight people.
David McVey said: "My father and I have invested all of our time and hard work in the business and it's great to see that commitment paying off. Bank of Scotland has provided us with a really personalised service. The team got to know our business and product so they could give us a bespoke package that would help us grow.
"I think the secret to our success it that we are a father-and-son operation. That comes across in the service we offer our customers. They trust us and know that we'll dedicate our time and knowledge to provide them with the highest standards."
Lynne Robertson, relationship manager at Bank of Scotland, said: "Brian and David are an excellent example of how small enterprises with a focus on providing the best customer service can be a great success, even in difficult economic conditions.
"As soon as I met the father-and-son partnership, I knew they had all the right ingredients to grow their business, and continue to witness increased turnover and profit."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
