Who are Rivervale?
1957, Rivervale started as a small Ford garage.
Rivervale offer Car, Van & Minibus Leasing as-well as Fleet Services and Partner Services
The move reflects Rivervale’s long-term focus on growing its core Leasing, Fleet Management and Minibus Businesses, therefore creating a business structure that is better aligned to future demand and opportunity.
As part of this transition, Rivervale has agreed the sale of its Bosch Car Service and MAXUS Service Centre operations at Victoria Road.
The relocation to Dolphin Road, will provide Rivervale with a more suitable operational base to support its growing leasing and fleet activities, helping the business continue to evolve in line with customer needs.
The move to Dolphin Road gives Rivervale a larger, more practical base that is better suited to the way the business operates today and where it is heading next. The site offers space to create new offices, capacity to support further expansion, and room to prepare and manage vehicles for fleet customers all under one roof; giving the business greater flexibility than its previous premises, which were more aligned to a traditional dealership model.
