Hi have only just joined on this site and been looking thru the Frans Maas forum as i used to work in the warehouse at Brownhills. It’s been good to see some old photo’s such as Alex ■■■■■■■ (RIP) Scania and step frame trailer and Hutch’s old truck from Yarmouth. I left the warehousng and went driving trucks after passing my test and was back in FM B’hills in one of Roadways Scania’s in Frans Maas colours. Not sure how to put photo’s on here yet but me old truck can be viewed here facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3 … =591479575

Desie:
Hi Bert. This is Des here from a company formally called Orchard Express now Ebrex Ireland Ltd. As Orchard Express we were the main Transport company for Frans Maas Dublin. We supplied 15 tractor units to Frans Maas Dublin and Frans Maas Waddinxveen. When DSV bought over Frans Maas I joined up with Ebrex.My father was also an owner driver with Frans Maas and Roadspeed Dublin. We have some photos and some old brochures that we would like to send on to you. I think that what you are doing is fantastic and I have spent many hours looking at all the pictures. Thanks a lot and we will be in touch very soon.

Regards Des Culleton.

P.S How do I send on the photos??

Hello Des,

How you do this days?, I lost your e-mail adres. I had an crash in mine computer in the end of last year and lost plenty of info. Stil i hope that you can let us see some photos of the time your dad drived for Frans Maas Dublin. I am on the end of my photos and hope that others can place some photos to let the story about Frans Maas going on
