Anyone heard anything about Nobbly Dressingtable taking over the Bernard Matthews fridge contract? I fully accept it may just be driver’s tall tales but I was told they were going to run it out of Oulton Broad?
Who are they taking it over from ?
I’ll keep an eye out on that one then.Oulton broad is ten min from my house.
.Not sure who doe’s it at moment.Seen different motors pulling there fridges though.
bald bloke:

Think Fowlers have it at the moment
Bernard Matthews have just started shipping loads into Nobbies in Lowestoft (Oulton), instead of shipping them up to Chesterfield.
They’re still sending several loads a day to Fowler Welch in Spalding, Yearsley’s in Wisbech and Turners at Soham.
So no, Nobbie’s not taking over anything. It’s just that Lowestoft is closer/cheaper than Chesterfield.
Oh, and Bernies do their own transport. There is no “fridge” contract as such. Apart from the fact that most days there’s a Fowler unit, pulling a Fowler trailer out their yard in Halesworth, that’s because Bernies don’t have enough units/trailers/drivers to handle all their work. And on that basis you’ll also see Bomfords and E.S. Walpole units pulling Bernies fridges and autoflows when they’re busy!
As stated above. my best mates son is on for them and does the traffic office about every 3 weeks and confirms the above.
