Supporting a New Chapter at David Spear Commercial Vehicles

---

This week I had the privilege of working alongside the leadership team at David Spear Commercial Vehicles as they stepped into a brand-new chapter under their Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) structure.

I joined them for their very first management meeting in this new phase — and what a day it was. The room was full of energy, healthy debate, creative thinking, and the kind of tough decision-making that shows a team is serious about moving forward together.

We revisited some of the fundamentals that really make a difference:

• ✅ Sales & marketing training for everyone — using live data to track leads, customer activity, and conversions
• ✅ A renewed focus on values and customer commitments — because ultimately, managing performance is all about delivering the best possible service and experience to customers

In the boardroom, the conversations went deeper, bringing structure and clarity to areas that shape the future:

• ? Managing the numbers with accurate financial data
• ? Building a clear business plan and marketing strategy
• ? Developing people and supporting managers
• ⚙️ Strengthening processes to make the most of resources
• ? Anticipating future needs and opportunities

What struck me most was the leadership team’s commitment. With the right people, leaders, and processes in place, David Spear Commercial Vehicles is in a fantastic position to thrive in this next stage of its journey.

It’s a privilege to play a small part in supporting that progress — and to see first-hand the resilience, ambition, and teamwork that’s driving the business forward.
