A frontal view of GSM Automotive

Van World’s catchment area comprises the capital predominantly but they also sell regularly into bordering counties Louth, Meath, Kildare and Wicklow – and sometimes further afield. To what does the sales representative attribute the resounding success that followed the switch?
“Obviously, the location is a major factor as we’re now in a superb strategic location on the Long Mile Road. We are also able to carry a much larger range of stock now and this has obvious benefits as people can come in and look at the vehicles and test drive them.

“We can provide tradesmen, couriers - or anybody else who needs a commercial vehicle - with exactly what they need. We are perfectly placed to compare everything on their behalf and offer them the best possible solution from everything that’s available. Most of our customers would have a wide variant of makes in their fleet and this ability to mix and match for specific jobs can lead to substantial savings.”
