DEVON OPERATOR Gregory Distribution is to launch a waste and recycling transport division.
This follows its recent acquisition of rival Devon firm Greendale Transport and a contract win with South West Water to haul 'waste solids' from treatment plants in Devon and Cornwall (CM 24 March).
The new division, Gregory Environmental, will operate 75 trucks with tankers and walkingfloor trailers; it will employ 100 drivers across the South-West.
Gregory's chief executive John Gregory adds: "All our other activities including grocery and consumer goods will continue to be branded with the familiar brown 'Gregory Distribution' livery with dedicated contracts branded in the name of the headline customers such as Milklink and Spar.
"The new branding for Gregory Environmental will move the company away from its historic brown livery to one of a new green-leaf design which will gradually be rolled out from April 2005," he reports.
Apart from the South-West Water contract Gregory Environmental will also be transporting wood chip and waste paper.
