COMMERCIAL vehicle supplier the Tom Gallagher Group is investing £2m in new premises at Westmead Industrial Estate in Swindon.

To complement its existing M4 Van Centre showroom on Marlborough Road, the company has bought a two-acre site on which it plans to build a 25,000sq ft vehicle servicing and sales centre.

The Westmead centre will be ready for occupation in September, and will replace the company's property at Broad Hinton.

The deal has been arranged by commercial property consultants Alder King. Alder King associate Simon Kingsley said: "The group has outgrown its existing premises and we have been looking for a suitable expansion site for some time.

"The company has decided to retain its Marlborough Road facility, so the site at Westmead Industrial Estate is ideally located for the growing back-up operations."
