    These are the video's I enjoy watching. Don't get me wrong, Weekly is awesome and love that too, but these videos gives us a fly on the wall type view of how Daniel run's his business and how his business mind works. And you can take a lot of the info away and apply it to your own work or business as Daniel said towards the end.

    Great to see the business expanding, as you say there are a number of factors that make this decision work, I’m sure we will see a tractor unit added to the fleet soon as well (we know you regretted selling the 2 you had prior, but at the time you did what you thought was right for the business. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and had you known the opportunities that you could have exploited you would have kept them) However you may not have been in a position to get these 5 units had you still had the 2 tractor & trailer units so it’s swings and roundabouts. Congrats Daniel, I’m looking forward to seeing where this takes the business and what further opportunities this gives you👍🇬🇧

    Good deal to fair as your beating the long lead times that are still 6 to 12 months . And price is about RRP for a 8x4 tipper i work for a Renault trucks dealership we sell a lot of 8x4 to arragate inds and they are about 140k with wilcox or ppg bodies , cameras and paint . Same engine and running gear as Volvo trucks the Renaults .

    • @FrancoisTCS
      @FrancoisTCS Год назад

      Would probably have a better price deal with Renault Trucks by the way, which chassis and driveline are very similar - to say the least - the Volvo Trucks. The cab is different though, exterior and interior design are significantly different. Then it comes to detail option available or not on some models.

    We see Fox's sister company Hurt trucks around our way, they took over Hurt in 2020.
    Pretty sure I've seen that Fox helicopter fly over our house, we're about 5 minutes flying time from Preston. It takes the air ambulance based at Blackpool Airport 5 minutes to reach us. That's according to the pilot when they landed in our local park a couple of months ago. 0:07
