Costing £75,000, the new depot is situated at Roper Road and replaces the company's Rhodaus Town centre in Canterbury. and the Eaton Road, Margate depot.
The site caters for 20 vehicles, covers an area of .approximately 60,000 sq. ft., and contains an enclosed transit shed incorporating a loading bank, modern offices and a service station for maintenance.

Scotland. the Midlands and Eastern counties. Thus the need to tranship parcels through I.ondon branches will be avoided.
Mr. I. A. Sayer will be in charge of the branch.• which is one of nine in the Southern parcels area controlled by Mr. S. C.-G. White, area manager
