Donegal Groupage

Kicking things off is Jolene Mc Bride and her FH540. Receiving a complete overhaul throughout this year, this family orientated Volvo pays homage to the founding father of Donegal Haulage, who since stepping down back in 1995, has left his impression courtesy of a fantastic airbrush piece on the rear of the cab. Still working alongside Jolene who took over in 2013, the artwork is dedicated to her father who still puts the hours in to this day. The customisation doesn’t end there. Colour-coded side skirts, wing tops, light bars, upgraded A-frame and catwalks are just small selection of extras this Volvo received.

Blues Brothers

This bold FH500 arrived in Middlewich alongside two others of similar spec. Receiving a little extra treatment before sale, dirt deflectors, chrome front steps, silver front grille and a lower bib spoiler were fitted to improve road presence and to offer our customers something a little different from the norm. As a result, these subtle alterations combined with the fantastic Blue Eye Pearl colour came together to produce a fantastic looking truck that will definitely look the part whilst out working. These ‘blues brothers’ also received tipping gear equipment courtesy of Thomas Hardie Vehicle Solutions based in Chorley for certain buyers, assuring customers these units were fit for purpose come collection day.

K.Hamiliton Haulage

Milk haulage specialist K.Hamilton Haulage kindly updated us on the current state of affairs regarding his stunning 4×2 FHV4 that’s been under the knife this year, producing an impressive truck that sits worlds apart from it’s ‘For Sale’ days back on the forecourt.  Fresh alloys, full paint job, dazzling lightbars and striking decals help this Volvo pop and is most definitely a looker!

The power of referrals should never be underestimated as Kieron proved. Visiting via a tip-off from a fellow used Volvo owner. Porter Haulage purchased their Volvo earlier in the year and informed Kieron that the Middlewich sales team were the right people for him.

‘The Used Vehicle team spared no effort in guaranteeing my newest truck was ready and prepared to a professional standard.’

‘Seeing it’s sister truck and what’s achievable with these Volvo’s meant I couldn’t resist getting my hands on one.’

VolvoTrucksUk’s tour displaying the future of the Volvo FH, FM and FMX rolled into Middlewich back in October, giving staff and local customers a great opportunity to get to grips with what Volvo are bringing to the table.

Various local customers visited the Middlewich site, receiving insightful tours courtesy of Volvo representatives and New Vehicle salesmen, in an effort to showcase what’s on offer, plus the numerous additions and tech upgrades the whole Volvo range has incorporated.

Futuristic headlights were a big talking point, plus various grille options now available certainly divided opinion. But on the whole, visitors, salesmen and even technicians all agreed that these trucks would raise the bar throughout the truck world and will ultimately revolutionize the haulage game.

EasyWalk LTD

Andrew Clarke of EasyWalk absolutely stole the show with the recent purchase of not one but three magnificent Volvo’s. Two 540bhp Tag axles alongside an equally capable 500bhp FH V4, all equipped with the latest and greatest equipment and software to keep EasyWalk LTD ahead of the rest. With a keen eye for detail, Andrew spared no expense crafting a set of trucks that would suit him and his businesses needs. Ronnie Kelsall our Regional Sales expert guided Andrew throughout and offered his usual level of enthusiasm and commitment. A very proud result for both.

L.Hunt & Sons

L . Hunt & Sons certainly flexed their creative muscles back in September. Taking one of our beefy 540bhp V4’s and producing what can only be described as a work of trucking art! Opting for the D13K540 unit equipped with a range of extras  was exactly what Derrick needed for his particular ‘Huntusual’ jobs. A specialist operation involving the movement of more extraordinary products… Our National Used Truck Sales Specialist Carl Boase support Derrick throughout and offered any guidance and assistants needed to make sure L.

Covid - Thomas Hardie

Covid-19

It wouldn’t be right of us to summarise the last few months without mentioning the biggest household name, Covid-19. This take-no-prisoners virus swept across the UK and afar devastating lives and businesses. Thomas Hardie Used Trucks wasn’t immune, with necessary precautions being taken and elevated safety measure’s put in place to protect our staff and visitors. Although a number of customers don’t feel the need to view our trucks before purchase which is a testament in itself, we understood that people needed to see, hear and feel a potential investment before committing financially. Thankfully, our website maintained course, giving customers a superior insight into what’s for sale and in greater detail thanks to powerful virtual tours, video calls, informative descriptions and image’s. We wanted to reduce customer interaction but still provide the country with the necessary tools to keep on trucking! We will continue to support all our customers throughout this pandemic and strive to provide the country and beyond with the usual levels of professionalism and commitment.
