I have a lot of Ancliff, Bulwark, S&R, and United Transport history. The United Group included Ancliff, Bulwark, Stamps, Hoggs, Brechins, and purchased S&R in 1986. All had the very best of drivers who would do anything or go anywhere, Proper Drivers!! And some very good contracts! However once it changed to Initial Transport as part of Rentokil they decided not to invest in the tanker business which was undergoing a lot of change at the time. I recognise Eddie & Tim from the photos. And worked with Terry Jaques who i see gets a mention!
Any other ex United drivers hiding behind various ‘handles’ nicknames etc? Would be interested in hearing from you. There’s some great pictures of the old trucks, i’ll have to try and scan some of my pics on to the site.

Don’t worry Chris, you are not losing it. Stamps were in the group as well as the company from Montrose.I am also sure you will have been to Unichema Bebington. The trucks were not owned by them, just liveried by other tanker companies. I bet if you cast your mind back you will remember a product called Prifrac
and what a pain in the arse it was to unload and clean out.
Drive past security, walk to the transport office, then and only then were you allowed to pull under the sample gantry.
No Malc,never been in Unichema Bebington,been in Pak-Tank Eastham plenty of times though.
What was Prifac - mucky black greasy crap was it?
I thought I was right about Stamps,made my day.
Chris I am sure it was "Price s Chemicals " which became Unichema De Mulders of Doncaster used to do a lot of Tallow in to there. Factory shop was oppisite the weighbridge and their social club was across the road so everything on hand for a good night out I had a few nights there with one of DeMulders lads Brian a owner driver.
cheers Johnnie
