An Irish vehicle solutions provider has added a third premises to its Northern Irish estate to support an ambitious all Ireland growth strategy.

Radius Vehicle Solutions (RVS), the only all-island provider of passenger car, van and HGV commercial vehicles service and repair services, has secured a second unit in Mallusk, totalling 5,000 sq ft and representing a £1million investment.
