PARAGON is planning to invest in its Corby site after securing a new long-term deal with General Motors UK Limited.
As the sole provider of vehicle refurbishment to the manufacturer, Paragon will refurbish more than 30,000 vehicles a year and handle logistics for vehicles delivered out of the site to Vauxhall dealers..
Paragon has a 10-year relationship with Vauxhall that has seen a number of innovations developed to create efficiencies in the de-fleet process. The company’s own fleet management system, iSight, will be deployed on the contract, and will enable real-time access to inventories to ensure the efficient management of vehicles.
Toni Sozzo, Vauxhall Motors’ national used car sales manager , said: ‘Paragon continue to prove an efficient partner for our used-vehicle supply chain. They share our passion for innovation and continually strive to improve the service they provide.’
Paragon is the UK’s largest supplier of end-of-life and PDI services for vehicle manufacturers, handling more than 750,000 vehicles last year.
Mike Pilkington, managing director at Paragon Automotive, said: ‘Vauxhall is one of our largest customers and we’ve put a focus on quality and innovation at the heart of this partnership. The contract will see our team use the latest production methods and technology to ensure the seamless delivery and transport of more than 30,000 vehicles a year, through our operation in Corby.’
