Westbourne Motors has traditionally specialised in the lighter end of the market. Based from depots in East & West Sussex and Hampshire the Company operate a fleet of over 60 light commercial vehicles from 3500 to 18,000kg. Customer demand has initiated the decision to move into the heavy recovery market, ensuring the Company can offer all Motoring Organisations a total package.
The unit has been launched in conjunction with three new fully equipped mobile workshops aimed at fixing more vehicles at the roadside. These will be coupled to the Company’s existing service van fleet covering all counties across Southern England.

Sussex based Westbourne Motors has opened a new site in Basingstoke to offer improved coverage of Hampshire and Berkshire, increasing the recovery fleet to over 60 vehicles.
Over a three month period, J & J Conversions have supplied an additional nine new recovery vehicles ranging from 3500kg lightweights with a new concept ultra light carbon fibre body, to a fully equipped 18,000kg twin deck accident unit.
All of the transporters at 7500kg and 12,000kg specified aluminium to maximise payloads.
Richard Colburn, Managing Director of Westbourne Motors said: “We choose J & J Conversions due the ability to supply quality vehicles to our exact specification and delivered on time. The fact that they hold chassis stock is a very important part of our decision process, meaning we can react quickly to our own customer demands. Richard Guy and his team at J & J have pulled out all the stops to ensure every unit has been delivered at the due date, which is remarkable bearing in mind the volume and diversity.”

The long awaited announcement of RAC’s network review was delivered recently. The review was carried out by RAC to ensure a long term solution was available for their customers, in the light of increasing legislation in the vehicle recovery market place.
A radical reshape of the country saw RAC working with a smaller number of key contractors covering larger areas.
Westbourne Motors has achieved record success signing a multi million pound contract over three years. The contract starts on February 13th 2008.
RAC reviewed the network based on past and current performance, professionalism, innovation and future plans for growth.
The success means that Westbourne Motors becomes the largest single contractor in southern England operating for RAC.
Speaking briefly after arrival of the news, Managing Director, Richard Colburn commented “ This announcement is testimony to all the hard work that our people offer RAC each and every day of the year, without which we would have not have achieved this success. RAC have awarded this contract as they believe our forward thinking and proven ability to cover larger areas are both essential to offer their customers a long term assured recovery service.”
