Hey up Dean the Volvo is Asfordby Storage from the village of Asfordby near Melton Mowbray
They’re still going strong they used to do a lot of work for Pedigree Petfoods
When I was at Stirlands we had regular work out of Pedigree in Melton and would often load out of Asfordby Storage
They still run a few old but smart FH12 Volvos along side some newer Merc Actros,s
Nearly 30 years later I deliver meat products to a butchers smack opposite their yard
I go every Thursday I’ll take a few photos and pop them on here
Cheers GaryIn the early 70’s we used to do the odd load or so ex Asfordby Storage back up to our area and this is a shot of two Pet Foods loads parked in Milnthorpe and IIRC one was destined for Whitehaven and the other going to Barrow-in-Furness both to Cash and Carry firms which are long gone as the Super Markets wiped them out ! Cheers Bewick.
0Hiya Dennis
Earnie Dolby was the Boss and I think his son took over when Earnie retired
I can’t remember his name
Thanks Gary
Hi Gaz,
I can recall chatting to him once when I was loading Pet Foods but I never knew his name only that he was apparently “The Boss” ! Cheers dennis.
