Going with the Grain... with Daewoo
John Armitage, Sales Manager at Daewoo Truck North East, congratulates Graham Reed, Transport Manager of Hathaway and Hoyle during the hand over of their first Daewoo D75.
Stockton-on-Tees
based timber merchants Hathaway and Hoyle looked far and wide before deciding to
change brands when up-dating their fleet.
A
demonstration truck from neighbouring Daewoo Truck North-east proved an
eye-opener, not least because of its excellent value for money.
Transport
Manager Graham Reed takes up the story, ” We have operated a well known brand
of Japanese trucks for several years, and would have willingly bought them again..
until that is we tried the Daewoo Avia D75. After a brief trial our drivers fell in love with the
truck. It really offers so much more than our drivers have been used to – the
suspended driver seat and spacious cab are really appreciated by them.”
And
Graham Reed was adamant that he was not just pandering to his drivers.” Whilst
it does keeps my lads happy, it really is a gaffer’s truck at heart. Even
during the relatively short demonstration period,
its frugal fuel consumption
became more than apparent. With both low running costs and Daewoo Avia’s great
value for money package, we are already saving money on each tonne of timber my
lads deliver.”
Hathaway
and Hoyle have now ordered two Daewoo Avia D75’s for their fleet – and these are
equipped with Aire Truck Body 20 foot aluminium flatbeds for local deliveries of
timber products to building sites in the North East.
