Cotteswold Dairy welcomes latest delivery of DAFs

Tewkesbury-based Cotteswold Dairy has used Asset Alliance Group to refresh its delivery fleet with new DAF trucks on contract hire.

Cotteswold Dairy welcomes latest delivery of DAFs

The firm has added 13 new generation rigid trucks ranging from 7.5-tonne to 18-tonne DAF XBs, with a variety of power outputs. The order also includes two 26-tonne DAF 340 XDs.

These trucks all feature Solomon Commercials temperature-controlled bodies and Carrier Transicold refrigeration units.

The 18-tonne and 26-tonne units, which are also fitted with Dhollandia tail lifts, will service the dairy’s customers in semi-retail and those in the foodservice sector.

Its DAF XBs have been supplied on five-year contract hire agreements, while the larger XDs are on seven-year agreements.

Also, the vehicles’ liveries have been produced by Smaldon Signs & Vehicle Graphics in Clitheroe, Lancashire.

The deal includes repair and maintenance, featuring a single monthly payment.

A quarter of the dairy’s DAF truck fleet has now been supplied by Asset Alliance Group.

Cotteswold Dairy traces its roots back to the 1930s, and the business is led today by Managing Director George Workman, grandson of founder Harry.

Headquartered in Tewkesbury, the family-run dairy operates from five depots: Cheltenham, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Conwy and Hemel Hempstead.

As well as supplying customers in the semi-retail and wholesale sectors, the business provides traditional doorstep deliveries to the public via electric milk floats.

Ruairi Spencer, Fleet Logistics Manager at Cotteswold Dairy, said: “I’m a big fan of contract hire, it’s the best way to do things in my opinion.

“As a business we can concentrate on delivering a great service to customers, with smart, reliable vehicles in a fleet that is refreshed regularly.”
