Do you mean Sissons are closing the transport business?
Somebody should tell them, they are still recruiting drivers and buying new MAN’s according to the website.
I used to know a couple of lads hat worked there.
They said that they would only get 9 months contract and that for three months of the year the business effectivly closed.
It was to do with the post seasonal peak after Christmas when Britvic (?) contract got a bit slack.
I know at the time Rowntrees used to do something similer they would park up a number of units and stop using the agency lads for a month or two between Christmas and Easter when it was slack.
Don’t now if they still do that though.
Just seen an auction notice in the back of Motor Transport for these, but it was the first I’ve seen of their troubles.
Not seen anything in the press prior to this. Are they ‘fully’ shutting, or is it not in the news, or do I need to keep my eyes more open 
I had some hard nights with them down in West Thurrock and Grays when the Proctor job was good, many pints sunk in the Rabbit and the Chinese.

The Rabbit and the Chinese? That’s a strange name for a pub.

It is Rat really 
anybody any experiances.
i know they came close to shutting a few years back but they seem to be going ok, i spot alot on the road but never had chance to natter a driver.
i was offered a job back in 2004 when i was up the creek, was supposed to be tramping, but ended up on night shift, didnt have much to do with the offfice, as it was run by a lead driver on nights, all we did was trunking out of the drinks place near armley (britvic?) money was very average, this was at the time they moved from seddons and ivecos over to daf cf’s, i think theyre all xf’s now
Used to run into a few of their guys fairly regularly when doing the “splits exchange” dropping off Britvic battles that had been mistakenly put into the Coke returns and collecting the Coke splits from them that had ended up in their returns.
I can honestly say none had a bad word for them… or a good one either 
it seemed to me then they were run of the mill, average. about the middle lane if you like.
and that in itself to me is a reccomendation. nowt flash, but still going.
i am the proverbial rose between two thorns
did a couple of weeks for them on agency last year think they have about 14 motors now,would have loved to get on with them but was nowt going at the time
