AFTERSALES
With effect from January 1st, Simon Rudall will take responsibility for the Esso depot.
Simon, who has been with Keltruck since 1991, will continue to oversee the Tankfreight operation at West Bromwich & will no doubt find some economies by running both specialist operations together.
Terry Retter will relinquish his responsibility for Esso as this will now come under Russ Warner. Tamworth depot will come under Terry’s responsibility from the same date.

2002 YEAR END
We are almost at the year end of what has been a very busy year. We have sold & delivered 352 new trucks & 353 used. Our order book for next year currently stands at a healthy 187.
2002 has been a year of growth in almost all areas of the business. I am pleased to say that this growth has also been reflected in the company profits.
It is essential that the company continues to make healthy profits so that we can invest in the buildings, special tools, service vans etc that you have all seen this year.
The biggest factor in the continuing success of Keltruck is the people. Everyone in the business can affect the company’s profits.
I believe that at Keltruck we have the best people in the business.
Finally I would like to thank all staff for their hard work & commitment throughout 2002 & wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy & prosperous New Year.
John Biggin
Managing Director
