Commercial vehicle contract hire provider Ryder has signed a
major deal with food production giant Premier Foods, for the supply
of vehicles worth a total of €9.5 million.

The 187 vehicle deal includes a number of 15 tonne box bodied
trucks for dry freight haulage, as well as 38 tonne and 28 tonne
tractor units from DAF and Mercedes, to join the Hovis bread
fleet.  

The vehicles will be maintained through service depots owned by
Ryder, as well as through the firm’s 349 FleetCare
dealers. 

The Premier account will be run by a dedicated senior team at
Ryder, where account managers will be on hand to support the fleet
with additional short or long term rental vehicle rentals if
needed. 

Premier Foods is one of the UK’s largest food producers,
incorporating brands such as Mr. Kipling, Branston, Ambrosia and
Bachelors, as well as Hovis, the livery of which will decorate the
new trailer units.

More than 99 percent of all UK households brought a Premier
Foods brand last year and 46.8 million people eat one of their
branded products in an average two week period.
