The Glazerite UK Group has made a £150,000 investment into the expansion of its delivery vehicle fleet, with the addition of two new 18-tonne, custom built lorries.

The move will strengthen the fabricator’s ability to deliver to customers on time, and in full, the company said.

Ian Lloyd, Glazerite’s operations director, said: “The new lorries complement our existing 16-strong fleet of 7.5 tonne delivery vehicles, and will allow us to improve on our distance and overnight capabilities. Being able to fulfil our order book and deliver to customers on time is integral to our offering as a leading fabricator.”

Glazerite has improved its carrying capacity for particular delivery routes, including Scotland and the south west.

“Deliveries from Glazerite North West to Scotland, and from Glazerite’s HQ in the Midlands to Cornwall, South Wales and the Isle of Wight involve overnight stays,” Iam said. “These routes are growing in volume and often we have to send two trucks. This investment allows us to cater for that growth and complete these deliveries using one larger vehicle.”

Two dedicated drivers have been employed by Glazerite at its sites in Wellingborough and Bolton, where the vehicles are based, and both have already begun making deliveries to installers.

Glazerite’s fleet has undergone a largescale rebrand in the last 18 months following the fabricator’s transition from Glazerite Windows to The Glazerite UK Group, and the rebrand of Network Veka to Independent Network.
