CPD Delivers Six-Figure Fleet Deal to Support TSE Group’s Traffic Management Division Growth

Meeting the Demands of a Growing Traffic Management Division

Supporting TSE Group with a Rapid, High-Spec Fleet Expansion

TSE Group turned to CPD to help meet rising demand across their traffic management (TM) division. With workloads increasing and deadlines tightening, they required a fast, dependable delivery of fully equipped TM-spec vehicles that could immediately support high-volume operations. 

Thanks to CPD’s strong in-stock availability and fully in-house build capability, we delivered a substantial six-figure conversion programme on time, to specification, and ready for the road.

• Tailored fall-arrest capability 
• A swift turnaround without compromising build quality 

CPD’s end-to-end control, which includes stock sourcing through to conversion, quality checks, and handover, enabled TSE to scale their fleet quickly and confidently.
