The new site will operate in tandem with our well-established operations in Doncaster and Leeds, to form a Yorkshire & Humber region for our 12,000-strong fleet of ambient and temperature-controlled rigids, tractors and trailers.
It will bring our award-winning contract hire and rental services, plus excellent customer service, closer to businesses in the Hull area.
Our operations will be overseen by General Manager, Scott Bailey, who has been with us for 15 years, and the site will also offer vans and static temperature control products.
Scott said: “We’ve been experiencing a significant increase in the number of our vehicles going into the Hull area, both as the port gets busier and busier and as our rigid and trailer refrigerated fleet becomes increasingly popular.
"As a company that prides itself on proven customer service, we’ve made the positive decision to invest in the area with a full branch facility to offer more immediate support to our local customer base. Being located in the immediate area will help strengthen our service offering to operators for years to come.”
The new depot is located on a one-acre site off Burma Drive on Marfleet Industrial Estate, close to the main A1033 that runs by the main port entrance. It will initially open five days a week during normal business hours.
