• Pickfords International last Friday started the groupage of containers from its Barking depot for arrival in Sweden the following Tuesday; every Tuesday return loads depart from the Helsinborg and Malmo groupage centres to reach Barking on Friday.
This is available as a depot-to-depot service or alternatively door-to-door movements can be provided. • Ryder Truck Rental has acquired Venture Transport from Bullens Transport Services. The 100-vehicle Cricklewood-based fleet of Venture is engaged on both contract hire and rental. The company had a turnover of £400,000 in 1972. Ryder is engaged in self-drive business, for the acquisition means the creation of a new haulage division where vehicles will be supplied with drivers.
