We have many photos of the trucks in our new head office at Plantagenet House , 4 Plantagenet Road , New Barnet, Herts EN5 5JQ
If anybody wants to contact me to visit details below and photo the photos for their collection this can be arranged .
The premises at Finchley has been developed as a car showroom dealership for Hyundia Motor UK Ltd together with Tesco Stores Ltd.
The premises at South Mimms former beacon café is now let out to Welcome Break Ltd as part of the motorway service area.
The transport business was sold to Hales in 1990 .
I am happy to talk/ email to any of our drivers or relatives of our drivers about any of the trucks and past memories.

My father drove for Deards in the early seventies,before he became an owner driver.
His last lorry was a Leyland two pedal beaver-he loved it!

Did you work on the haulage fleet that ran out of south Mimms?
A neighbour of mine (now passed away)worked for Deards on the general haulage from the mid seventies up until they finished.(he had a couple of spells working for my father -who also worked for Deards until just before he became an owner driver in the early to mid seventies as I’ve said in a previous post above)
My neighbours name was jock harkins,and his Leyland roadtrain unit was always parked round the corner when he was back home in Hitchin.
