Remember AER Inskip very well
from late 70’s onwards
The ole chap was good mates with Vic Inskip
That was at the time when they moved Chocolate for a company called Meltus I believe and also MIchelin Tyres who had a warehouse on the far side of Bedford

Unable to help with any pictures but I can talk to Truckerash

Thanks, yes indeed “Meltis” the makers of TOBLERONE and also Newberry Fruits, who then became Tobler Suchard. They also at that time did a lot out of London Brick, Tate & Lyle, BOCM Silcocks to name a few
Did your dad work for them?

No he didn’t
Subbed work to Inskip and vice versa
Remember sitting in Vic’s office with my father who passed comment on couple of new coils of rope
Vic responded by saying in Bedford I buy the all the rope thou Jimmy Laughton buys all the light lenses and bulbs!!!

In my day, early 60s, Inskips mainly carted bricks and Brussels sprouts from Bedfordshire to Manchester Markets and bricks to building sites in Kent.
