Treka Bus applies to appoint adminstrators

Bus & Coach Buyer is awaiting confirmation that Treka Bus, the West Yorkshire company which manufactures minibuses, has applied to appoint administrators.

Treka Bus, based in Brighouse, is a trading division of Bolton-based vehicle technology business WNV Tech, which includes Mellor, Coleman Milne, and several other trading entities.

According to Thde Business Desk (STORY HERE) in its annual report for the year ended 31 December 2022, Treka Bus reported a turnover of £11.7m (2021: £23.8m) and pre-tax profits of £717,722 (2021: £2.2m). During 2022 the firm employed an average of 69 staff. According to the annual report, the fall in sales was due to a site closure caused by a shortage of critical components.

However, Treka Bus’s directors at the time noted that the company was still in a strong financial position, adding that they expected normal trading conditions to return in 2023, said the website.

The company operates from a 14,000 sq ft production facility at Armytage Road Industrial Estate, with its operations ranging from welding, to fibreglass finishing and electrical engineering. Treka Bus supplies vehicles to a range of customers in the private, public and charitable sectors.

Bus & Coach Buyer has written to the parent company for details.
