GTG Training

“Arnold Clark Coachbuilders has supported GTG Training for many years by building the bodies for our training vehicles, and the service has always been exceptional. Because our vehicles need to meet very specific driving test criteria, we always have unique requirements – and Steve and his team deliver exactly what we need every time.”

“We've had multiple HGV rigid bodies and drawbar trailer bodies built, and the quality has always been outstanding. Communication is excellent too. We’re kept up to date on progress and delivery times, which makes the whole process stress-free. We’ve also trusted Arnold Clark Coachbuilders with refurbishing vehicles and wheels, and the results have always been first class. The workmanship, reliability, and attention to detail are second to none.”
