Dean Cross, managing director at Cross Transport, said: “This is a substantial order for a key part of our business, and we’re very pleased to have Asset Alliance Group’s support.

“In the time we’ve worked together, they’ve shown they understand our business needs perfectly. Initially, the Amazon contract required a bigger fleet, and Asset Alliance Group came through and delivered.”

Each new DAF is expected to cover 140,000km annually, with the contract hire agreement including all safety inspections, maintenance, servicing and repairs will be covered by a single monthly payment. They will support Cross Transport’s contract with Amazon, delivering customer orders throughout the UK and Europe from its Nuneaton depot.

Karl Starkey, transport manager at Cross Transport, said: “We’ve enjoyed a smooth relationship with Asset Alliance Group since we started working with them two years ago. They are always on hand to help and are one of the best asset finance companies I’ve worked with.”
