I’ll get the ball rolling with one or two of a few motors I’ve driven and some locals.

Tam Shanks sold out to Allen Munros of Burscough (I think thats where they were from) who promptly cherry picked the best of the trucks for themselves and sold the rest, they kept 6 working local for a little while but eventually closed the doors. The Great Yarmouth side of the company was sold to A.M.P.S in GY who are still running about in the same colours.

The retail side of Deep Freeze were taken over by Woodwards and the haulage side was being run by a consortium of owner drivers for a while but that is all finished now as well.
