IT is business round the clock for customers of Jennings Ford, who are taking advantage of an unusual service.

Customers looking to purchase a vehicle from the group's Yarm Road Business Centre, in Stockton, will be able to take any vehicle from the Ford range on a 24-hour test drive.

The centre is responsible for increasing fleet business and offers a package to meet the needs and demands of the business community in the Stockton, Middlesbrough and Teesside areas.

Centre manager Ron Homan said: "The scheme is proving to be extremely successful and popular amongst high mileage business users who need more time with the vehicle to ensure that it is economical to run and comfortable for long journeys."
