‘Truck business is still brisk at the moment as operators continue to update existing fleet and convert to upgraded models but the message is dealerships like Chassis Cab can help to keep trucks and trailers across region operating with maximum truck uptime.’ ‘We can demonstrate to customers that we are a one-stop shop for all trucks and trailers parts taking the hassle out of fleet maintenance. Operators are often too busy to source the quality parts they need to keep pay-loads moving and that can be a false economy.’ ‘Dealerships are usually just as competitive as other suppliers but more reliable and offer a premium support service that sets them apart from the competition. That’s why I am delighted to move to a truck dealership such as Chassis Cab that offers top quality service and the family business values that all fleet engineers and owner operators welcome and rely on.’
Paul Twilley, newly appointed Area Parts Sales Manager at Chassis Cab, Cambridge
'Paul has a key role to play in matching up customers with the parts and service that will keep them ahead in their field. He will be helping us to develop a customer-facing parts team that offers unrivalled experience and expertise.’ ‘Our aim as always is to help truck owners to achieve the lowest cost of ownership combined with the highest possible profit per mile. That leaves them to focus on expanding and enhancing their business – whatever that may be!’
Robert Baxter, Dealer Principal, Chassis Cab
Our nationwide operations cover the movement of containers, chilled and refrigerated product distribution and tankers carrying liquids and bulk materials. We cover all product sectors including food, building materials and fuels and currently business is extremely buoyant.’ ‘Our continuous investment in DAF trucks shows our allegiance to the brand and our commitment to keep our fleet in premium condition. The FTP 440 tractor unit is a top-performer; probably the best lightweight truck ever. They are so flexible that they are the optimum truck in weight sensitive work. And that’s why we are proud to be one of the top buyers worldwide.’ ‘We are all looking at the future with interest particularly with regards to how Brexit will affect our daily operations but we are confident that as a business we are in the strongest position possible to make the most of any additional trading opportunities or challenges that may present themselves. Business is what you make it – and we are always optimistic.’
Tim King, Group Fleet Engineer of Turners (Soham), said:
He said: ‘Turners is such a successful family haulage business – its growth has been unprecedented and we are delighted that DAF Trucks has played such a key role in the company’s development. It has been a pleasure to work with clients like Turners and to support the work of dealerships such as Chassis Cab. It’s good to know that collectively we are keeping products rolling - around the UK and beyond - in the greenest and most efficient way.’
Eddie Hennessy, Regional Manager of DAF Trucks, delivered the latest truck to Tuners. He is about to retire after nearly 40 years of service with DAF Trucks.
‘The label and package printing sector is now seeing that the easiest trail to sustainability is linerless. This has moved from niche packaging to mainstream in a very short time. And it’s here to stay. We are now moving into the ready meals market, one that is showing unstoppable growth in every country year on year.’ ‘The UK is still possibly the most advanced country in Europe to produce chilled food packaging and we are proud to be at the forefront of this pioneering trend. Linerless labels bring less waste, less downtime and reduced transport costs. These changes make a substantial difference to a manufacturer’s profitability and sustainability rating and that’s why they are important. Ready meals are the way ahead as people find that they are time-poor above all things.’ ‘Linerless labelling is perfect for food packaging and now including fresh produce and bakery products - but we are moving into areas other than food packaging, like healthcare, household, motor care and toiletries. We engineer ‘greener’ applicators and coaters which are taking ground from conventional labelling systems. The applicators are mega-flexible they can pack paper, card and film, so different packs can be produced during a day simply by changing the material used.’

‘This was an easy choice for us. The latest technology Euro 6 engines are the best and most fuel efficient trucks ever - and transport efficiency is critical to us and to our customers. Everything affects profitability and these new trucks will give our business a new edge. The trucks also run super-clean which minimises the environmental impact of our business. We are delighted with our new and improved fleet, and are now ready for whatever new business opportunities come our way in the future.’
Says Daryl Bridges, Transport Manager at Parkside:
‘I was so surprised to win against so many really talented competitors. The testing was intense and demanding. I just did my absolute best. It turned out to be enough to win the DAF European Technician of the Year award and I am incredibly grateful to be the winner of this highly prestigious title.’ ‘It is really motivating to have done so well and my advice to others is to always go for a challenge – you never know where it will take you.’
Adam commented,
‘It is true to say that Compass Point is celebrating its 21st year in the business at a time of more activity in the market. Businesses have been through some challenging times during the last decade and companies have understandably restructured. The good news is that things are very different now - employers are looking to strengthen their teams, gearing up for a busier time ahead. This is a positive indicator that there is more confidence about and much more optimism in the future.’
Said Managing Director Rebecca Thurlow:
‘We are proud of this latest delivery to Madingley Mulch designed to further improve delivery efficiency. Our repair and maintenance contract ensures that customers keep their trucks and businesses working without downtime – and so customers are free to concentrate on expanding their business with the confidence that they can always manage the increased workload. ‘ ‘Madingley Mulch is benefitting from the fact that it has a broad client base and their customers are constantly looking to enhance and improve their properties and premises. It’s most certainly a successful and growing business.’
Speaking on behalf of Chassis Cab in Cambridge, Terry Hall commented:
He says: ‘The ability of our linerless labelling systems to pack with paper, card and film all through the same applicator means that a different range of quality lines can be packed on the same production line throughout different times in the day simply by changing the material used.’ ‘These machines give maximum flexibility and sustainability benefits. As a result they are capturing new markets here in the UK and overseas particularly in developing economies. Line speeds are still of great importance to customers and waste targets are met by these machines with ease.’ Ravenwood’s ‘Slideable’ labels will be on prominent display at the show. Made from thicker material
Managing Director Paul Beamish has announced much recent interest from other industry sectors including fresh produce, drinks, healthcare, pharmaceutical and cosmetics and toiletries sectors - as the technology is finding new markets in both the UK and worldwide.
‘We are looking to increase the scope of our activities over the next five year period and see these current investments as critical to our expansion plans. Delivery is a key element of the estate today and we will endeavour to expand our existing fleet of vehicles from four to many more as we grow the service we provide to ourselves and our customers. East Anglia is a fast-developing region and we intend to capitalise on this fact by being ultra-ready to expand when required.’ ‘These are state-of-the-art Euro 6 DAF trucks supply every efficiency and performance feature we need to operate effectively within the region; while the Super Space Cab interior provides more space and more than everything that a driver needs for maximum comfort – including fridge and microwave options!’
Explains Simon Peacock from Bartlow Estate:
‘We aimed to facilitate an environmentally friendly solution on this new trunking route; and needed extra delivery vans to cope with increased demand in the South and East of England. The new order from Chassis Cab has made these further improvements possible. The use of the DAF Euro 6 CF tractor combined with the new double deck trailer equates to a saving of 432 miles a day, or more than 157,248 miles a year, generating an annual reduction of over 190,000kg CO2 and over £200 in transportation costs.’
Paul Farrow, Distribution Manager at Thomas Ridley, said:
'These awards reflect the passion and dedication of outstanding achievers in the motor industry. We are so proud that Andrew has been recognised as exceptional both with regards to his skills as an apprentice technician, and to his professionalism and approach to his work. We know that he is an outstanding apprentice but it is good for him to know that his achievements have been recognised nationally – four times! Whatever he is doing, he will always go the extra mile to produce the best outcome possible and that’s why he is so successful in everything he does.’
Commenting on his latest award, Service Manager, Phil Court from Chassis Cab, Bury St Edmunds, said:
‘We have been purchasing support vehicles from Drive Vauxhall for over 15 years now and have recently added new models that have put our fleet at over 50 vehicles. The vans are highly-performing in that they are efficient, versatile and clean, much like the trucks they are helping to keep in service. In these times of rigorous vehicle emissions legislation, all vehicles on the road need to be both green and clean. Drive Vauxhall and Chassis Cab have established a relationship where we work together simply and effectively to provide a polished service to truck drivers, who need quick and reliable support when they are on the road.’
Speaking on behalf of Chassis Cab, Dealer Principal Robert Baxter comments:
‘9BAR is such a fantastic energy brand, its customers are active people who will welcome the new and more natural branding, and they will share an interest in the work that 9BAR are doing in Africa to provide light for children who are without many basic comforts including electricity.’ ‘We are very happy to see Fix-a-Form® being used so prominently on 9BAR packs to get these key messages out to people who buy energy snacks at supermarkets, health food shops and online to help with the fast-developing success story of 9BAR.’
Comments Senior Marketing Executive Stephanie Castling from Denny Bros:
‘The label and package printing sector are now seeing backingless labels as the only sustainable route forward and Ravenwood Packaging is still the original and most dependable supplier of this technology which means that our machines are still highly sought after.’ ‘The UK is possibly the most advanced country in Europe to be producing chilled food packaging and we are proud to be a part of this pioneering trend. Linerless labels bring less waste, less downtime and reduced transport costs. These changes make a substantial difference to a manufacturer’s profitability and sustainability rating and that’s why they are important.’ ‘Linerless labelling is perfect for food packaging and linerless wraparounds are ideal for bottles and so the majority of our machines go to supplying the food and drink sector – and now including fresh produce and bakery products - but we are moving into other areas too including healthcare, household, motor care and toiletries. We engineer ‘greener’ applicators and coaters which are taking ground from conventional labelling systems. The applicators are mega-flexible. They can pack paper, card and film, so different packs can be packed during a day simply by changing the material used.’
Speaking about Ravenwood’s premium position in the linerless market, MD Paul Beamish said:
We are a family business and our name is over the door. Our reputation is very important to us and we want a social conscience to be a key factor in determining how we run our business. We have operated an ISO 14001 compliant environmental management System since 2008 and now have green policies embedded in everything we do. Reducing waste in all its forms is a key objective for us as is driving down our carbon footprint’.
Says Denny Bros MD Graham Denny:
‘Backingless or skinny labels are winning new followers across the globe as companies worldwide accept the idea that less is more.’ ‘We are looking at new ideas and concepts for the future. What started as a simple concept is now a major force in packaging and we are looking at ways of adapting the technology to answer other packaging challenges.’ ‘The fact that over 40 world delegates are here with us talking these issues through in the UK is a sign of how pivotal we are in this field. We are leading this changing technology with the help of other experts from around the world.’ ‘Manufacturers and retailers are now doing everything they can to take practical steps towards sustainability and this is what is feeding this growth in linerless labelling.’
Ravenwood’s MD Paul Beamish says:
‘We are delighted to now be a flagship main dealer for Indian, Victory and the Morgan Motor Company - and many other top world brands too - all creatively displayed in next-door venues. We can guarantee that we have something for everyone with a passion for motorcycles and classic cars. We don’t just want customers to visit, we want them to be astounded at what there is to see – we believe that everything they can imagine is real.’
Speaking about the opening, Krazy Horse MD Paul Beamish said:
‘Denny Bros is a part of a hugely successful specialist printing group that serves both the national and international markets and is a major global player in print services – with the ideas and synergies that create infinite marketing possibilities. I have joined at a time of great excitement, as the company is celebrating 70 years in print while embracing all sorts of emerging technologies to engage the new ‘tech-savvy’ consumer groups.’ ‘Creative labelling continues to bring sales uplift particularly as consumers are becoming less brand loyal. Consumer Relationship Marketing (CRM) has therefore never been so important. There is greater than ever choice at the point of purchase and so customers are looking for items that speak to them personally. Fix-a-Form® multi-page labels - in all their guises - do this simple job effortlessly - and there are many new ideas to come as the product continues to evolve over time.’
Says Stephie
‘It’s just two years – February 2013 - since the opening of the Krazy Horse destination venue and we are delighted to say we are opening this second showroom to cope with the success of this destination venue for petrol heads everywhere. We are selling motorcycles, classic cars, coffee, food and clothing to people who want to have some fun at the weekends. Our customers want to find something that helps them to get more out of life - and we are more than happy to help them.’
Speaking about the forthcoming opening, Krazy Horse MD Paul Beamish said:
‘These DAF trucks are partly for renewal and partly to cope with the expansion of business as we are finding that business has been particularly buoyant in recent months and we are seeing no signs of that changing into the future.’
Seven Asset Management’s MD Tim Forman said:
‘I am delighted to take over the mantle of Managing Director of this award-winning family business. Denny Bros is constantly changing and growing. One of the biggest game changers for us is the introduction of new mandatory rules and regulations regarding labelling. Our customers rely on us to help them with compliance and with brand competition. We are creative and marketing experts too, delivering brand allegiance and sales uplift to campaigns.’
Graham Denny, previously Commercial Development Director for the company for over twenty years, said
“It is very rewarding for us to be able to help provide this support-livery to St Nicholas Hospice Care in addition to a regular donation from us for each mile that our parts van travels around the region. Our families, like all others, are acutely aware of the much-needed voluntary service that the Hospice offers and for this reason we are delighted to be able to help in this way. “This is our way of showing how much we care about the work that the hospice does. If we can keep the name in the minds of those who travel around the region, we hope that it will stimulate the offer of donations during the months and years ahead. And with the donation per mile support, hopefully it will be the gift that just keeps on giving!”
Chassis Cab, Dealer Principal Robert Baxter commented:
‘We are immensely proud of Andrew for winning the award of best ‘first year’ apprentice at the recent national skills assessment day. It shows he has what it takes to excel as a truck technician in the very first year of his training, and as such is a credit to the team here in Bury St Edmunds. His involvement with the Industry Apprenticeship Council will give him further insights into the world of training and development and should give him some exceptional communications qualities to serve him throughout his career.’

This flexibility and quick changeover means that line speeds are not compromised and that waste targets are met with ease.’
MD Paul Beamish said:
‘Nutraceutical products are not subject to the same testing and regulations as pharmaceutical drugs and often need introducing to the user-audience as they are brand new product concepts. To explain the benefits and instructions for use, and avoid misuse of the products, it is important for manufacturers to give as much information as possible with the product offering. Multi-page labels are helping to make these products safer to use by highlighting any potential health issues associated with their use, particularly when used in conjunction with other medicines or healthcare products.’
Stephen Jarrold, Sales and Marketing Director at Denny Bros said:
'This was a tremendous evening. It was great to meet with so many like minded people in the outrageous big boy’s toy shop that is Krazy Horse. So well worth the visit and the money raised was raised in the spirit of true gentlemen. Well done to the guys!’
Moto GP Commentator Steve Parrish:
‘We all work hard and play hard.’‘Each of us has spent time testing our own personal levels of skill and endurance - and this is where the idea came from for the joint charity event to bring together others who have done similar things. We hope this will be successful enough to become an annual charity event.’
Paul Beamish
‘We are extremely proud that ChassisCab is now operating in the city of Cambridge. We have been working with truck businesses in Cambridgeshire since 2006 when we acquired a DAF Trucks site in Isleham but this move takes us into the mainstream business community where business is encouragingly buoyant .’ ‘The transfer of the business has been seamless because there is almost complete synergy between the two dealerships. Our customers want quality trucks like the DAF Euro 6 LF, CF and XF that are high-performing, image-conscious and emissions-friendly. We supply the optimum trucks for the job and that’s what keeps our customers where they want to be – at the top of their game. ‘ ‘We are looking forward to developing new business in and around Cambridge, helping local, national and international companies to prosper and grow.’
Robert Baxter, Dealer Principal, at ChassisCab
Speaking about Ravenwood’s steady-growth within the US market, founder and MD Paul Beamish said: ‘The label and package printing sector in the US is now becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of linerless labels. They bring less waste, less downtime when changing rolls as linerless rolls contain twice as many labels in the same diameter as the self-adhesive equivalent and reduced transport costs. Just this one change can make a difference to a manufacturer’s costs and sustainability rating which is why there is so much current interest in the technology.’
