2003 proved to be a most successful year for our ongoing fleet renewal programme, with 20 new MAN and Mercedes Benz vehicles and over 30 new Dennison trailers joining our operation. These new additions allowed us to reach another target, which was to have all our road haulage equipment less than five years old. The latest John Mitchell curtain side trailers carry a revised livery with stunning use of our stylised Osprey logo (pictured below).

Continuing with the wildlife theme and to celebrate the 50th. Anniversary since the aforementioned Osprey was reintroduced at Loch Garten, this years new trucks will be named after Birds of Prey.

Two Minute Interview
