[edit] Salvador Caetano (UK) Limited

Salvador Caetano (UK) Limited was established in 1984 as the associated company of Salvador Caetano. It specialises in both the marketing of new own brand vehicles and used vehicles of other coachbuilders along with repairs.

Initially located at rented premises at Northampton, the company moved to a purpose built facility in Heather, Leicestershire in 1989, located next to Reliant Coaches Limited, which it purchased in 1998.

Also in 1998, the company set up a new company S C Coachbuilders Ltd, which was based at the factory in Waterlooville acquired from UVG. This factory stopped production of new bodywork in 2007.
