This year’s CTA access 10 exhibition has proved a major success for all at Mellor. Held at Manchester Cental (formerly the G-Mex) the show attracted thousands of visitors over the three day duration. With the launch of the first of their ‘Easy Access’ Range at the show, the star attraction was undoubtedly the new Fiat coachbuilt for Mellor.
Having put a difficult year behind them the sector seemed back to its usual buoyant self with Mellor even taking orders on the stand.
We would like to thank all that visited us and expressed an interest in Mellor. Special thanks also go to Pam Turner formerly of PLS who came out of retirement to help.
