A Hundred Years in Transport

UKIFDA Starts today 10 April 2024, and is on for two days at the Liverpool Exhibition Centre. It is regarded as the premier event for the liquid fuel distribution industry. Clugston Distribution Services Ltd are supporting one of their great partners Cobo. Cobo Tankers and Services Ltd is considered one of the leaders in the production of tankers for the transport of petroleum products. Cobo Tankers & Services Ltd is a company dedicated to the manufacture, repair and sale of tanker trucks and semi-trailers. Pop along and see the Cobo Team and take a look at the Clugston tanker we delivered on Monday for use at the show

To continue the growth in Bulk Powders, Clugston Distribution Services Ltd have appointed Stephen Cooper to the position of Operations & Business Development Manager (General and Intermodal Bulk Powders Division). Stephen has 35+ years’ sector experience in various complex roles. His knowledge and experience in the Bulk Powder sector is extensive and he is well versed with the operations at Felixstowe. The photos show the first delivery of three tanks from a large order of brand new intermodal tanks. These arrived this week and are already on a new contract with one of our customers on the east coast. They will be transported by road, rail and sea to their delivery destinations. Stephen says, “The first month is done, and I loved every minute of it! I’ve met, and I am working with, some fantastic like minded people in a great company which is still family owned, with a family member at the helm. What excites me is the drive, the passion and the focus that Clugston’s have on growth, especially with regard to Powders Already, we have trucks on road doing deliveries for our customers new and old. It’s also great to see more of our Clugston trucks on the roads in the south. There are more on the way…..watch this space!”

Great to see Gregg Wallace at Birds Eye’s Aunt Bessie’s Factory in Hull, showing how 500 million Yorkshire Puddings are made each year! Even better was to see one of our many tankers that go there being featured as well. Did you know that a one off load of flour (24 tonne) produces 3.3 million Yorkshire Puddings? Amazing

As we step into a new year, we want to express our sincere appreciation for all our customers’ continued trust and support. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and are confident that, together, we will achieve great things. May this year bring you all prosperity, growth, and success in all your endeavours. Thank you for choosing CDS as your trusted partner. Here’s to a prosperous year ahead!

Clugston had a great exhibition at the recent Road Transport Expo at the NAEC at Stoneleigh in Warwickshire in June 2023. The Clugston Team were out in force over the three day period to meet with existing customers, and talk with potential customers across our many and specialist Divisions Clugston International particularly had a great show, well represented by Richard Palmer and Paul McCord.
