The new ADR lane and facilities mean we can offer a more complete, efficient service to operators across the region. We’ve invested in the tools, the space, and the team to ensure we are meeting the high standards, and I am incredibly proud of what we have built here.”The ADR MOT Lane opens on the 9th June 2025.
