Foulgers, Snetterton, Norfolk

Anyone have any info about this operation? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

They seem to do a fair amount of European and general freight, and I’ve seen a few of their trucks pulling bulkers. Don’t seem to hear much about the though.

When I see their trucks they always look a bit grubby to me, and the other day I was following one of their curtainsiders and the bottom of one of the rear doors was simply no longer there, having corroded away. No need to open the doors when parked up! :laughing:

i dont think they do any european work anymore, but i have been on the ferry to ireland with one on a couple of occasions, cant remember the contract they had going over there though

someone on here works/worked for them, but i cant remember for the life of me who it is/was, they would be worth a PM

Are they still running those F7’s?

Strangely enough,I spotted one of theirs over here somewhere a couple of months ago.Possibly an FH or an XF■■?

Got part of the ‘next’ shop fitting contract, also plants and QD. Heard stories bout maintanance, but think its if your face fits as per normal.

I thought they had given up the continental, there were some good lads on the job who I think just did Germany. They were on the Felixstowe ferry every night. Is the cafe still open in the yard?

Mr Vain might be a good person to ask!
Don’t know too much about them myself, all i know is they got a contract from Kings :ynn and I was talking to one of their drivers a few years ago at Shepton Mallet and he said he wouldn’t wanna work elsewhere!

its trazman you need to speak to, he left them sometime this year i think.

there in palletline spoke to some of there lads seem nice enough bunch of lads they never moaned about the jobs they got so that cant be a bad thing :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

No the Cafe closed years ago, about the same time they dualed the A11 round Snetterton, shame as it was great when testing at Snetterton, but I suppose Tyrells is Okay.
Foulgers also have built a large Warehouse on the Roudham Industrial Estate and also operate something called the Freight Consolidation for Norwich City Centre.
I don’t think they are still the family business of the old F7 and FL7 days, I think that changed about the same time as the Cafe closed down. they seem to have a mixture of Premiums, Volvos and Dafs and not all are painted grey, I think they do what many others do now and buy white trucks and sticker them up.
Don’t really hear alot about them, unlike other hauliers round here, you don’t meet loads of their ex-drivers, so maybe they don’t have many. The only complaint I’ve ever heard about them was about pay, but that was from somebody who had immigrated to Norfolk and expected the same rate of pay as other parts of the Country.
