The company says that it plans to add 150 new platforms over the coming 18 months, along with two new 32 tonne DAF 8 wheel delivery trucks.

Joint managing director Rory Duggan said: “Ben and myself are immensely proud of the business that has grown from a standing start to nearly 400 machines over the last five years. Although the economy has been challenging, we are proving each day that if you offer customers the very best in service and care, combined with brand new top quality platforms, you are still able to thrive and grow in the right way.”

“We could have made the move to the North West a year or two ago, but decided to wait for the right location at the right time.”
