It has announced that it has purchased yet another 12 tractor units at a price tag of over £750k, 25 trailer units at a price tag of nearly £500k and will take delivery of five more tractor units later this year to total nearly £2m in investment.
The investment by the Southampton and Derby based business, will provide the company with significantly increased capacity to supply its current growing operation across both locations.

The move reflects a desire to strengthen and grow our fleet and this strategy is expected to produce significant operational benefits to the business.”
