The vehicles are under a five year contract hire agreement and
will join a 66 vehicle-strong fleet to deliver Braces Bakery
products to stores across Wales and the South of England.
The agreement includes full servicing, maintenance, repair and
MOTs, carried out by a combination of Fraikin and MAN, together
with road fund licensing, tyres, emergency roadside assistance and
relief vehicle cover.
Commenting on the deal, Braces Bakery’s transport manager Andrew
Williams explained: “A decision was taken by the board of directors
to update our fleet and it was agreed that contract hire
represented the best solution for our requirements.”
“It allows us to invest in a new, modern fleet, built to our exact
requirements and in our livery, but with the costs fixed and spread
over the duration of the five year period,” he said.
