The first event took place over two days at B&Q’s store in Bolton, Lancashire in late September.

Ford is supporting 37 of the roadshows, which stretch from Aberdeen in northern Scotland to Plymouth in south west England, and run until mid-November. Regional dealerships are providing staff at each event.

The manufacturer said each B&Q Tradepoint has thousands of registered customers on its books, each using business-related commercial vehicles.

Ford’s CV boss Steve Clary said: “It is a great opportunity for Ford to meet trade customers and to demonstrate the attributes and benefits of Ford ownership.”
