Helping Armoric Freight Hit Gold!

Challenge

Armoric Freight, a Plymouth-based company specialising in refrigerated transport, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. With a fleet of 13 high-spec, temperature-controlled trucks that are replaced every four years, the company needed to update three of its vehicles. Directors Kath Lewis and Kevin Willcock wanted to mark the milestone year with something special, three new gold-coloured Volvo, MAN, and DAF refrigerated trucks.

To make the investment seamless and financially manageable, the business turned to our Truro team, who have supported them for many years with tailored vehicle finance solutions.

Solution

We have worked with Armoric Freight on a rolling basis for several years, providing finance for new trucks and helping to maintain their modern, efficient fleet. Following the company’s successful management buyout (MBO) three years ago, we continued to support Kath and Kevin through the transition and ongoing growth.

Our local team once again delivered a smooth and efficient financing process, ensuring the new trucks were secured in time for the company’s 50th anniversary celebrations.

Kath Lewis shared:

“We’re really proud to be celebrating 50 successful years, and our new golden trucks make it even more special! We’re grateful to Paul and the team in Truro for supporting us over the years, and in particular for helping us to source these brilliant new trucks to mark our big birthday.

“They are very efficient and well-organised, making the financing process simple and hassle-free. Having regular face-to-face meetings with people who really understand your business is reassuring and makes everything so much easier.”

Result

Armoric Freight continues to thrive, employing 28 full-time staff and maintaining a strong reputation for reliable refrigerated and ambient transport services across the South West and Europe. The new gold trucks not only mark a major milestone but also reflect the company’s ongoing success and commitment to excellence.

Paul Caunter, Managing Director, added:

“Huge congratulations to Kath, Kevin, and the team. Fifty years on, Armoric Freight is still going from strength to strength, providing an exceptional service to customers across the UK and Europe. The golden trucks are a fantastic addition to the fleet and a fitting way to celebrate such a milestone.”
