Fabricators fleet now goes further than ever
» » THE GLAZERITE UK
Group Ltd has made a £150,000
investment into the expansion of
its delivery vehicle fleet, with the
addition of two new 18-tonne,
custom built lorries. The move
will further strengthen the VEKA
fabricator’s ability to deliver to
customers on time, in full, all over
the UK.
Ian Lloyd, Glazerite’s
Operations Director, says:
“The new lorries complement
our existing 16-strong fleet of
7.5 tonne delivery vehicles,
and will allow us to improve
on our distance and overnight
capabilities. Being able to fulfil
our order book and deliver to
customers on time is integral
‘a great opportunity’
On ‘location’ at the Queen’s
Hotel, Leeds, the event started
with the Affiliates Business
Centre. Next up was the official
AGM with a great line up of
presentations and new-for-2019
interactive Q&A with members
to share ideas and information.
After a short interval, and a
‘costume change’, the illustrious
Awards Evening and Gala Dinner
was next up. This year, the host
was silver screen and television
star Warwick Davis.
routes, including Scotland and the
South West. Ian says: “Deliveries
from Glazerite North West to
Scotland, and from Glazerite’s
HQ in the Midlands to Cornwall,
South Wales and the Isle of Wight
involve overnight stays. These
routes are growing in volume and
often we have to send two trucks.
This investment allows us to cater
for that growth and complete
these deliveries utilising one larger
vehicle.”
