North East hauliers crowned best in Britain

Consett-based Elddis Transport (Consett) received a major industry honour earlier this week at the 28th Motor Transport Awards in London taking the top award - 2013 Haulier of the Year

The awards, organised by Motor Transport magazine, are the road transport industry event of the year, celebrating the achievements of the industry - recognising innovation, outstanding service, efficiency and quality. They are judged by an independent panel of experts drawn from the industry.

The judges said Elddis was a solid, well-established business, achieving strong customer retention.

Nigel Cook, Elddis Managing Director said “This is a fantastic honour for Elddis and great recognition of all of the hard work put in by all of the staff at Elddis”

Elddis also won the Newcastle Building Society Cornerstone of the Community Award on the same day in recognition of the charity work the company does. This made a great day even better

Haulier of the Year was sponsored by MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd and comedian Dara O’Briain presented the award in front of over 1,600 guests at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.
