Yearsley group vehicle goes diamond to celebrate 60 years

Yearsley's 60th anniversary wagon

Yearsley Group has revealed their special 60th 'diamond' liveried vehicle; both unit and trailer are bound to make a statement as they travel up and down the UK.

The idea for the design came from employee Adam Hepton.

Once the design was approved the next task was to determine who of over 300 drivers employed by Yearsley Group should drive it.

Based on length of service, exemplary attendance record and shift pattern, Craig Wells, an employee of 20 years, was given the enviable task.

Craig said: “I am very excited at the prospect of driving this one-off truck. I love driving and taking care of my vehicle and I am looking forward to it being admired on the road.”

The 60th wagon will be very busy this year, as well as its usual deliveries it will be attending carnivals, visiting all Yearsley Group depots, showing at Truckfest and being guest of honour at the spectacular Gala Dinner for 900 employees which will be held in June.

Managing Director Harry Yearsley commented: “We are thrilled with how the wagon looks and are sure it will stand out on the roads.

"This special vehicle is just one of many things planned for 2015 to celebrate our diamond year."
