As part of our on-going investment in the latest technology and equipment 2 new 18t Iveco Euro Cargo’s have joined the Elddis fleet this month. They will operate as part of our radial distribution network with one based at our new facility in Heywood and one at our Worksop depot.
Our first new DAF trucks in 25 years joined the fleet this week. The 3 DAF CF 18tonne rigids are all fitted with 16 pallet bodies, air suspension, tuck away tail lifts, surround camera system, truck sat nav and the latest telematics. One of these high spec vehicles will be based at each of our three distribution hubs in Consett, Heywood and Worksop.
Elddis were proud to receive an award at the United Kingdom Warehousing Association annual awards dinner, held in the Dorchester hotel earlier this month. The award was a Recognition of Excellence in Training and Education. Another great achievement by all of the team at Elddis
After nearly 8 years of supporting Willow Burn Hospice and over £150,000 raised by the company and its staff so far, Elddis today launched the latest fund raising initiative for this amazing charity. The NEW Willow Burn truck, a DAF rigid with the distinctive number plate W111OWH will deliver throughout the North East and on its rear doors will promote Willow Burns Sponsor a Nurse Campaign. In addition to this promotion Elddis have made a commitment to make a monthly donation to support this great cause. If you want to also help you can visit www.willow-burn.co.uk or text WBNR26 to 70070 with your donation.
Another great award to crown off a great year for Elddis. The company took the Chronicle Community Champions Business Award for 2014 in recognition of our commitment to the local community and local charities.
Elddis have extended there longstanding support for Willow Burn Hospice by this month donating a van to the charity. The specially liveried van will be used to collect large charitable donations and move stock to and from the Willow Burn Shops and their storage facility, also donated to them by Elddis. Looking after our local community is a key driver within Elddis and our support of Willow Burn is something we are very proud of.
Congratulations to Elddis MD – Nigel Cook who received the Consett Rotary Club Community Services Award 2014 for his Charity Work and Contribution to the local community. A great further of the work Elddis does for both Willow Burn Hospice and the Local Community.
Elddis will be exhibiting again at the Multimodal Exhibition at the NEC Birmingham from 29th April to 1st May. The biggest logistics show in the UK. Come and visit the Elddis team on stand 241!
With a further significant investment in the North East, Elddis have opened a State of the Art VOSA Alternative Testing Facility at our Consett site. This will allow both Elddis and third parties to MOT HGV vehicles as well as Buses and Coaches in Consett, instead of having to travel to either Gosforth or Darlington which is the previous alternatives. This will save Elddis 25,000 road miles alone and provide a significant benefit to other operators.

Elddis were chosen as the Choice of Champions in the latest edition of the North East Chamber of Commerce Contact Magazine as a result of our recent award successes.
