◀ CPD holds one of the UK’ s largest stocks of ready to build chassis alongside the sales, after sales and technical support customers need. The Good2Go Zero Welfare Van is the first product we have developed on that platform, and it is an important innovation for us.
“ Our partnership with Farizon brings together electric vehicle supply, in-house conversion and our investment in renewablepowered manufacturing. That is exactly the kind of joined-up solution we want to offer all our customers.”
Already off to a strong start, 2026 is set to be an exciting year for CPD. With further growth in its sights, Cathal unveils the company’ s vision for the coming months.“ Our main priority for the remainder of the year is straightforward: to be consistent across everything we do, from quality to output. However, it is not just about the numbers. The fact is that most people spend more time at work than they do at home, and for me, beyond making sure that everyone is working hard to make our business successful, it is
equally important that our team is happy and that they genuinely enjoy coming to work. By fostering a positive and attractive working culture, we have been able to expand our team meaningfully, especially in recent years. We have recently been joined by NED, Gareth Jones, who, since joining has brought a completely fresh perspective to our operations and is helping us drive the business forward,” he ends.
CPD is a business that knows exactly what it is and what it does well. The investments in facilities, stock and energy infrastructure are not just operational upgrades; they form the foundations for the company’ s next phase of growth. Through a combination of the right people, an expanded product offering and a clear focus on electric vehicle conversion, CPD is well positioned to build on its momentum through 2026 and beyond. ■
