50th vehicle for Countrystyle

“The Countrystyle fleet is expanding into a hugely diverse and efficient operation.” That is the comment from Operations Manager, Richard Lloyd on its latest addition, a new Volvo FLH 240 skip loader – the 50th vehicle in its impressive portfolio.

This is the first new Volvo to join the fleet. Equipped with Hyva brand skip lifting gear and a Euro 4 engine, ensuring compliance with emissions regulations, it’s just the ticket for transporting Countrystyle’s exclusive range of skips.

Operating from its Strood depot, the Volvo will be used on the roads in and around Maidstone and the Medway towns in Kent, covering an annual mileage of approximately 80,000kms. For maximum driver comfort, the vehicle has been ordered with extras such as air conditioning, CD player and sun visor.

Richard Lloyd continued: “With a wide range of vehicle types, Countrystyle can offer its customers a huge variety of services and can answer the call for a whole host of waste disposal and recycling haulage needs.”

“The acquisition of the new Volvo skip loader demonstrates Countrystyle’s continued commitment to its fleet expansion and replacement programme. Following the offer of an attractive deal and perseverance by Paul Cogger of M C Truck and Bus, the decision was reached to go down the Volvo route. Both the vehicle and dealership’s performance will be monitored stringently, with a view to further Volvo product purchases.”

Countrystyle’s extensive fleet of leading brand vehicles ranges from dust carts, Ro Ro, skip, tipper and grab lorries to a variety of articulated transport. Used for a combination of waste management and recycling services throughout the region, with clients including both the commercial and public sectors, Countrystyle guarantees a friendly and professional service.
