Old North East haulage companies (Part 1)

Chris Webb:
I seem to remember a company in the North East running tippers called the Golightly Group. I got a lift in one of their Atki Borderers on a 1972 “L” plate and the driver was chuffed to bits with it as it had the 240 Gardner in it. What happened to them,anybody know,they were in a blueish livery IIRC.

Hi Chris, They were a large company in their day, But I never see them now perhaps they are no longer trading, Regards Larry.
