Davies Turner develops haulage alliance with Transport Equipment Services

The haulage alliance between Davies Turner and Transport Equipment Services Ltd (TES) has taken another step forward.

A pair of vehicles from Renault’s T-High range, recently acquired by TES, is now in operation for Davies Turner, strengthening the strategic partnership between the two companies and continuing the shared commitment to reliable, modern, and efficient transport services.

Equipped with the latest security, telematics, and driver comfort technology, these new units will help support Davies Turner’s nationwide and European logistics operations.

Recognised as one of the UK’s leading independent freight forwarding and logistics companies, Davies Turner said the alliance with TES supports its provision of a dedicated HGV fleet to move clients’ containers to and from the UK’s major container ports.

Whilst the domestic and international haulage market remains in a difficult situation, with a lack of drivers, developing port congestion problems; and forward booking difficulties, this alliance is providing surety of service for Davies Turner's domestic collections and deliveries of containers.

Alan Williams, director of Davies Turner & Co Ltd says: “Our alliance with TES helps us to offer merchant haulage, which is more advantageous if a client needs flexibility, variety, availability and reliability.

“It enables us to book haulage in advance and guarantees that the tractor unit will be available when and where we want it. It has helped us to secure timely transport of our clients’ containers in a challenging haulage market.”

Dave Burgess, director of TES added: “Davies Turner is a very important customer and an outstanding partner. It is really pleasing that our relationship continues to develop and grow. We are pleased to commit two of our newly acquired trucks to serving the company’s haulage requirements. Both are fully specified to meet Davies Turner’s operational needs and reflect the high standards to which we both work.”

Williams concludes: “Davies Turner places great value on long term alliances and partnerships, and believes that an alliance like that with TES helps to differentiate it from many of its peers in the freight and logistics sector.”
