MIDLANDS-based haulage company, Ball Truckin has gone the extra mile to show their support and appreciation of the NHS and other key workers.
The food distribution specialist, which has head offices and a yard in Atherstone, has transformed two of its trailers to display large thank you messages to those helping to save lives, keep the community safe and shops well-stocked.
The trailers will be used as part of Ball Truckin’s fleet of 62 vehicles, which transport goods nationwide and across Europe for companies such as Aldi and Geary’s Bakery.
Company director, Alan Ball said: “We felt it was important to do our bit to show our appreciation to everyone who is helping to save lives as part of our NHS. It has been an incredibly tough few weeks for many families and countless people are putting themselves at risk to save others. It is humbling to see the dedication and hard-work of all key workers and we hope that some of them see our message of support as the trailers travel across the country.
“We’d also like to thank Leamore Signs for helping us put the designs together and also Keltruck who are our partners for vehicle support out on the roads.”
As well as having the two new trailers designed, the company is also supporting the network support transport for ICD, which is assisting the UK Government and the NHS.
The first of the two newly-designed trailers has already completed its first outing to deliver bread for Aldi and is set to make a journey to Holland to collect crucial bakery ingredients for UK manufacturers.
