As part of our growth and development strategy, we are constantly investing in new equipment to both refresh and grow our fleet. We recently added 3 new vehicles to our fleet, increasing capacity for our customers as well as adding more modern, fuel-efficient vehicles to the fleet. 

 

The new vehicles arrived with driver comforts such as Sat-Nav, fridges, microwaves and tv connections, to ensure our drivers have all the necessary comforts whilst they work hard to deliver for our customers. 

 

With more equipment due to arrive throughout 2023, we will continue to invest in order to provide the best working environment for our staff, as well as improving and developing our service offerings to our great customers. 

 

To find out more about how we can help with all your haulage and logistics requirements, please contact a member of our team who will be more than happy to help. 

 

The RHA has welcomed the Government’s announcement that they’re opening a match funding grant scheme to improve HGV driver facilities.
