I didn’t know either. He probably was going that fast down the long hill on the M20 that he couldn’t get it stopped until Reims!
Allegedly. 
Sold out apparently.

french outfit gca
Yeah that’s them[WHITE SMILING FACE]
French outfit GCA (Group Charles Andre) were in final talks with Hoyer about buying them around 2 years ago.
The deal fell through at the last minute.
Well if this is true I can see an end to the fancy trucks sadly…
Volvofh16:
Decent pay, good tackle, good office staff.A great boss thats been there and done it and still continues to graft 7days a week and someone that u can go to with anything and ge will try help/sort it.

Gibson’s are near me, and there’s no doubt that they’re some of the best vehicles on the road in my area, with exception of some of the owner-drivers. It will be a shame to see anything change. I imagine there would be a clause that keeps all of the employees on, as my old firm did this when they were nearly bought out, although that fell-through at the last minute. It will be a sad loss to my local haulage industry if they lose the livery, and replace it with a boring, corporate job, like XPO has now.
I know that Damac Transporters are 5 minutes down the road in Goole, and I presume they are both competitors in the powder tanker business. As far as I know, I don’t really know any other powder tanker firms in the area, possibly Turners in Castleford, but it will be a sad loss if Gibson’s lose their identity and turn into a corporate job.
simon gibson running the firm for the next five years keeping the name on all the motors some good lads on there i drive for lomas we all go to the same drops at times allways help puting pipes on and waching each other back up to silos allways hav a laff with them rick who drives a top line megger blinged up scaniy parked next to me at flitwick once i told him come work for lomas you might get a propper truck good job the big rick as a sense of humor 
Since drax went to 50% biomas there’s a shortage of ash = less work think gibbo might be playing a blinder
