About Us

HTC is a privately owned group which began in 1970 under the Vales Group of companies in Watford, Herts. Dedicated to achieving continuous growth while upholding exceptional standards of support and service. We are committed to enhancing our already outstanding level of service to meet the needs of both existing and potential customers across key routes in the South of England.

Our facilities provide a wide range of services, including vehicle servicing, truck, and van sales, DAFaid assistance, parts sales, and electric vehicle sales. With consultancy services that are unmatched in the industry, HTC Group's headquarters are located in Heathrow, with additional sites in Dunstable, Park Royal, Reading, Oxford, Croydon, Belvedere, Hemel, Guildford and Shoreham.

Having been among the earliest adopters of the DAF franchise in the UK, HTC Group has established itself as a leader in dealer performance. In 2007, the company joined Ballyvesey Holdings, a distinguished privately owned group involved in various activities within the road transport industry, including trailer manufacturing, vehicle and construction equipment sales, and supportive services.

With over 38 years of experience, HTC Group has developed expertise in sales, finance, and service, placing customer satisfaction at the forefront of our operations. Our dedication to quality is reflected in our ISO 9001 accredited organisational programs, ensuring efficient turnaround times in our modern workshop facilities and maintaining extensive parts stock for both DAF and other brands through our TRP parts range.

Our clientele spans from regional manufacturing and construction companies with smaller fleets to national logistics operators managing diverse fleets and specialised trailers. At HTC Group, we invest in continuous training programs for our staff, empowering them to offer informed guidance on the latest advancements in DAF Trucks and utilise cutting-edge facilities to deliver unparalleled customer service.

With over 130 locations across the UK and 55 authorised testing facilities nationwide, DAF is always within reach. Additionally, we provide backup and support that is simply unbeatable. From DAF MultiSupport, our customised maintenance and repair package, to our innovative roadside assistance service, DAFaid, our comprehensive range of services aims to enhance uptime and reduce maintenance and operating costs for our customers.
