R Plevin & Sons head office and main yard is on Cheshire Street, Mossley near Ashton under Lyne.
Their other smaller depots are in Retford, Boston, and Hazelhead near Penistone.
R Plevin & Sons Ltd was formed in 1973 by Roy and Maureen Plevin and is now run by their two sons Jamie & Simon, employing over 200 people across four sites in the UK.
Here’s a shot from 1986 when they were based in Hyde before moving to Mossley ten years later in 1996.

Chris Webb:
Hi Dean.
I don’t know whose this is,sorry.Looks like a DM reg plate which was Chester and it’s a 6 compartment spirit tank.

No worries Chris that’s the trouble with the dreaded “white” motors,not too many clues !

[“ianto”]The hide and skin firm was Chetwynd from Dehywid near LLanarth on the Cardigan coast They ran theier own wagons blue if i remember and also D J Thomas used to haul for them as well.

I remember the firm DJ Thomas very well as they regularly came up our way a lot. I think they also shifted milk powder from West Wales but I recall the animal skin job and they once were part of a feature film which followed them taking animal skins to (or from) Italy (I think!)

Morning Chris G,
I noticed the pic of the Wynns Atki now in Cadzow livery, here is another Atki in Cadzow livery and one with,I presume, its original owners, N.M.P, Cheer’s Pete

Thanks for the pic Pete.

Limey:
Well, come on! You can’t be a day under 40 in that photo. Maybe the excitement of being allowed in a proper lorry for once has clouded your memory and I can totally understand that. However, on a second viewing the garb is much later, no 1978 style big collars or anything on view. It must have been about 1988 I reckon, the Marathon would have been about due a refurb. by then.

Cheers “Limey”
