Guest Motors Ltd delivers for Everards Brewery

Guest Motors Ltd is helping to keep the nation’s pubs well-stocked with award-winning Everards beers after supplying a new dray to the Leicestershire-based brewery.

The Iveco Eurocargo model, which features the new E5 state-of-the-art common rail injection systems, will be making weekly trips to London, Wales and Morecambe.

Supplied by Guest Truck and Van in Warren Park Way, Enderby near Leicester, the new dray conforms to the new Enhanced Environmentally-friendly Vehicle standards offering 5% better fuel consumption and C02 emissions.

One of the secrets of the Eurocargo’s success is its versatility. It’s easy to drive, even in city centres, thanks to a compact cab, an excellent steering angle (52 degrees) and a tight turning circle (starting from just over 11 m between kerbs). At the same time it offers excellent performance on long trips or on particularly difficult missions.

This makes it perfect for brewery deliveries across the UK.

Pip Podgers, of Podgers Transport Ltd, who operate the Everards fleet, said: “We’re pleased to be able to work with other local companies and with Guests being based in nearby Enderby, it made perfect sense for us to acquire the latest addition to our fleet from our local dealer.

“We chose this truck due to its greener engine credentials and lower emissions. Iveco’s reputation for build quality and reliability is outstanding.”

Everards Brewery is a family owned business, which has been brewing beer for more than 160 years. It has over 170 pubs of its own and supplies its range of beers to pubs across the UK.

Guest Motors Ltd, the UK’s largest Iveco dealer group and Fiat Professional van dealer, has also been a family owned and run business for more than a century.

The Guest Group, which also includes Sherwood Truck and Van, covers an area of responsibility for Iveco which includes the East Midlands, West Midlands, North Wales, Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire and South Yorkshire. Its network includes 14 full service dealerships, supported by local agreements with an additional eight authorised Iveco repairers.

Guest Truck and Van fleet sales manager in Leicester Peter Wheat said: “I have had a working relationship with Podgers Transport Ltd for several years, and I was very pleased to supply the Iveco Eurocargo to Everards. It’s an ideal vehicle for the brewery’s delivery routes, being versatile and suitable for both motorway and long-distance journeys, as well as town centre travelling.”

Green Toilet Company opts for Sherwood Truck & Van vehicle

Commercial vehicle group Sherwood Truck & Van is helping to keep the Green Toilet Company on the move after supplying the firm with a new vehicle.

Based in Braithwell, South Yorkshire, the Green Toilet Company has been supplying portable toilet, washroom and shower facilities to sites and events throughout the country for many years.

As well as being delivered and collected from sites, all units need to be maintained in use, and for that, the Green Toilet Company has just taken delivery of an Iveco Daily 35C15 with a chassis-mounted pumper unit.

Supplied by Sherwood Truck & Van, Highfield Lane, Sheffield, this features a dual-purpose body built by Rapide Tankers of Full Sutton, York. Behind the cab is a twin- tank unit - one to carry 180 gallons of waste, the other to transport 100 gallons of fresh water. The former carries the waste pumped from a cubicle in use; the latter refills it with clean, fresh water for flushing, hand-washing or showering.

Over the rear axle is an aluminium bed, designed to carry two portable toilet cubicles.

“Daily’s the ideal vehicle for our needs,” said Green Toilet Company managing director Jim Proudley. “It’s tougher and harder-wearing than most vans in its class, yet it gives all the comfort and reliability a driver needs to ensure that we can deliver - and take away - what we’ve promised.

“And Sherwood are the ideal dealer too. We’ve dealt with them for several years now, and we find they’re dependable, reliable and straight-forward. Business doesn’t have to be complicated, and they go out of their way to support us when and where we need that support.”

Sherwood Truck & Van is part of West Bromwich-based Guest Trucks, one of the UK’s largest independently owned commercial vehicle dealers and the single largest Iveco distributor.

Helen Waterfall, regional director responsible for the four Sherwood locations at Sheffield, Nottingham, Etruria near Stoke, and at South Normanton, Derbyshire, said: “We are very pleased to have once again supplied the Green Toilet Company with a vehicle that is perfect for the firm’s needs.

“The company takes a proactive approach in ensuring that the facilities they provide are both clean and pleasant to use, and protective of the areas in which they’re sited, and we are delighted to be helping them to achieve this.”

Sherwood Truck & Van is a leading supplier of new and used commercial vehicles, established in 1978. The company also maintains, services and repairs commercial vehicles across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire and most of Cheshire.
