A BODYSHOP supplies business is celebrating the success of its new mobile service.

RPL Autostore, in Kidderminster's Worcester Road, launched Bodyshop Direct earlier this year in an attempt to broaden its business base and provide "a more focused service" to the motor trade.

The van, stocked with a wide range of products, including the top-40 lines used everyday by garages and bodyshops, visits customers throughout the Worcester, Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Kidderminster areas.

Managing director, Richard Latham, said it was important to recognise the needs of customers and of a changing market place.

"We are providing our customers with an instant mobile shop right to their door, so they don't have to phone and wait for deliveries," said Mr Latham.

"We've had a great response from our customers and it does seem to be an ideal solution for bodyshops."
