MW Scotland
To further complement our offering the MW Scotland depot, based at Dumfries, was set up in February 2020 when we purchased key elements of Penman and created one company to support our UK customer base. We were delighted to bring in house all of the specialist attributes that Penman offered through the design and build of its high profile military vehicles.
With customers now including the UK’s Ministry of Defence, the United Nations and NATO, as well as various non-governmental organisations, humanitarian groups and international charities, this represents an exciting new era for the business.
