Hi Dean still appreciate all yours, Pauls and Marks efforts in keeping this thread going it is still first port of call for me. On the Rosier Transport, they took over F&F Robinson on Teesside but i think they also had depots around the country Newhaven and Ipswich were others at least. Once again looked like another company that grew quickly then went into liquidation.

Good morning, Pike are Newport based and Rosier I think we’re Felixstowe based.

Powerstar or Strator? If it’s the latter, it’s been built by a Dutch Iveco dealership in the south of Holland, here’s a link with more specific details; cfg.nl/aanbod/strator
Used to be a waste company from Watford iirc that used to tip into shanks at Brogborough that ran Foden artics in that colour.

Thanks for the comments “jshepguis” 
Over the years alot of companies seem to have made that mistake of growing
far too quick, and then it all goes pear shaped.
Dont think we have had a F & F Robinson motor on here,but here is a bit about them.

Hi Dean, This Reed Transport Volvo that you posted recently is probably loaded with
pallets of new cardboard boxes produced by Reed Corrugated Cases, also part of the
Reed Group. From early 1973, I drove for Reed Transport at their Wigan factory for
about a year, but I didnt fit in well because my attitude to working hard for a living
wasnt in line with many of the drivers who were to the extreme left of lefties. It was
as though the Transport & General Workers Union were in charge of running the job.
Cheers, Ray.
Hi Dean.
Helsby and Longden are from Helsby Cheshire,always to be seen in Shell Chemicals Stanlow and still operating.
And Milehams Transport were from Purfleet I think.
JWQ had depots in Swindon, Reading and several other places. There is a thread on here about them. We had one of their ex fitters in Reading come and work for us and he told us about draining the oil from the trucks engines down the kerbside drains! T. Mileham were London and Bristol based, they were regulars on the old A4 through Reading with Bedford TK artics.
Pete.

As I recall, the Rosier name disappeared because Brian Rosier sold out, not because the business failed. It ended up with DHL but I’ve a vague recollection that the initial sale was to Exel

Hi Chris,
I believe it was Securicor Omega logistics he sold out to as the Telford work and the tankers parked in Oldbury had Securicor units pulling the trailers
