One of the UK’s oldest UK and International logistics specialists has unveiled a new livery to launch a year of Centenary celebrations.
The new Bowker Transport livery will debut on two Volvo tractor units, donated by the commercial vehicle manufacturer for use during the Centenary year.
The new livery replicates the vintage blue, red and gold colour scheme used historically by the company. It will be seen for the first time in January 2019.
The launch heralds a year of activities for the Preston-based haulage experts involving staff, customers and suppliers.
Bowker operates in excess of 160 vehicles and 300 trailers, providing over one million square feet of warehousing at their 7 UK sites.
Bill Bowker, Director said: “We are extremely proud of our history. We are pleased to introduce our new livery to celebrate the Centenary which is a significant milestone within our Company’s history. Undoubtedly, this is a momentous achievement making Bowker one of the oldest road transport companies still operating in the UK today and the new livery is a fitting tribute to our past and the future which marks the launch of the celebrations.
“We will commemorate our Centenary Year with a number of events throughout 2019 which will involve our staff, our customers and our suppliers. We want to thank everyone who has played their part in the Bowker success story and want to make it a year to remember.”
Joe Roddy, Sales Director for Volvo Trucks UK & Ireland said: “Congratulations to Bowker Transport on reaching this historic milestone. It is rare for any business to achieve this level of excellence for so long. That’s why we’re delighted to donate the centenary trucks and be part of the celebrations. Congratulations to Bowker Transport and all its customers from everyone at Volvo. And here’s to the next 100 years.”
