Even More Deliveries as GAP Invests in Fleet

To ensure each of its 11 depots always have the products installers need, GAP has invested in two new articulated lorries bringing its fleet up to 62 vehicles. The new lorries will be used to increase the capacity of GAP's overnight deliveries into each of its depots, from its central distribution warehouse in Blackburn.

The new improved service will mean GAP customers get exactly what they want, when they want it, in the quantities they need it.

Not having any Class 1 registered drivers, GAP opted to offer training to several existing 7.5 tonne drivers rather than recruiting new drivers. Three drivers to date have so far passed with flying colours. GAP's very own Transport Manager Mick Skinner also put his driving skills to the test, to ensure he understood every aspect of the newly added vehicle to the fleet.
During a typical day, GAP makes over 600 deliveries to its customers with the record standing at 1,024 in a single day.

'It is important our customers can rely on us to get the products they need, when they need them," says Mick. 'GAP prides itself on high levels of customer service and investing in our fleet of vehicles and staff means we can make even more deliveries to keep ahead of demand.'
