Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is helping new and used van buyers in early 2009 with new finance offers on some of its most popular vans, such as the VW Caddy, now available new from £189 a month, or used from the Volkswagen Assured Used scheme from only £99 a month. 

The Telecoms Network (http://www.telecoms-network.net) a new dedicated social network aimed at telecoms professionals has been launched this month. The site provides an outlet for the telecoms industry to network, upload images, video and news, and interact via groups, forums and polls.

The site focuses on all facets of telecommunications, from network infrastructure, devices and technologies, to content, IPTV, content and mobile. Members can interact with likeminded professionals to share ideas, and to discuss important topics affecting the industry.

“The quality of the members on the site is fantastic” says Steve Jones, Online Editor of Telecoms Network. “The member’s dedicated interaction shows that this is exactly what telecoms professionals are looking for, by actively participating in discussion and debate from the off.”

A new, state of the art Verve Van Centre in Glasgow was officially opened last week by Stephan Schaller, CEO of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. The new Verve Van Centre (http://www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/van-centres/verve/ ), which represents a financial investment of £3m and is expected to create 20 new jobs, is a bespoke building in a new location at Glasgow Business Park in Baillieston, Glasgow.  It replaces the previous Verve Van Centre which had outgrown its premises in Rutherglen, Glasgow.

The new building will enhance Verve's customer service and experience with more servicing facilities, thanks to its larger ten vehicle workshop equipped with the latest testing and diagnostic equipment and fully trained staff.  There is also a spacious showroom to demonstrate the award-winning Volkswagen range of vans including the Caddy vans and Transporter vans, people carriers and even the California camper van, plus a range of Volkswagen Assured Used vans.
