Tradelink Extends the Fleet

In response to changing customer ordering patterns driven by tougher market conditions, trade fabricator Tradelink™ has invested in four new vehicles to give its customers a more responsive and personalised delivery service.

The company says that the fleet investment comes as Tradelink™ bucks the national trend and sees steady growth in its customer base, helping to maintain its position as one of the UK's leading trade fabricators.

The four vehicles - two 7.5 tonne Iveco rigid box vans and two 3.5 tonne Mercedes Sprinter vans - will be evenly spread across its two plants in Cambridgeshire and Mildenhall in Suffolk.

‘We have extended our fleet in response to our customers changing needs,’ commented Jim Moody, Tradelink™ Managing Director. ‘The market is getting very tough and we have seen some customers orders drop slightly. As such they are now requiring their orders on a quicker turnaround to ensure a continuous flow of work. We have therefore invested in new vehicles. It's a 'blood line approach - basically our customers need their orders quicker. These vehicles will help us achieve this.’

‘As well as our traditional 7.5 tonne vehicles, we have also invested in smaller 3.5 tonne vehicles,’ continued Jim. ‘This is for the delivery of HeatGuard®, our high performance sealed units, which continue to go from strength to strength and smaller orders.’

The latest additions to the fleet are already out on the road, sporting the full eye catching Tradelink™ livery and transporting customer orders all over the country.
