34 years after Osbornes Removals & Storage in Sale, Cheshire, came under the present ownership, the company has bought its 50th vehicle.
The company has had Bespoke Bodies in Warrington build a new body for a 2011 model DAF Space Cab. The new acquisition replaces an aging ‘R’ Reg 15-tonne DAF vehicle. Using a used chassis has saved the company in the region of £40,000 compared with buying new, despite adding the fetching Kelsa chrome bars which have received a few admiring glances from the public.
Osbournes now has a fleet of 10 vehicles and has given this latest addition to its longest-serving driver, Trevor Butcher, who has been with the company for 13 years. Riding with him will be his son, Bradley and his porter throughout that time Denny Morris, who has been with the company since 1983.
