Hi all, I drove for Monarch when they had just moved to Pyle, and also from Neath Abbey when they took over Rewbridge. A new manager, Gareth Williams (I think) took over from Bob Ireland and John Harris. They sold my old 110, PMW179H and I ended up driving S80 Fodens DUH582L and OKG123M. At least they were better to drive than the Atki’s. Vince Porter(Porterloads) worked in the office. The ex Rewbridge Dodge V8s were painted orange, unfortunately I had to drive them occasionally.

I think thats like it having its own haulage yard to run out of rather than sharing one with other firms. :slight_smile:
