Personal service is the backbone of Godfrey Davis Truck Rental, and has been a major feature in nationwide growth. Truck Depots have now been established in most major cities and rental facilities are available through over 180 offices throughout the country.
Personal service will also be a major feature of the new truck repair and rental centre at Alperton. Peter Brown, who is steeped in the Godfrey Davis service tradition, is the Manager — he has been with the Company for eight years now. Ray Mulford. his right-hand man, is in charge of the fleet and an expert on vehicle maintenance.
The facilities for truck repair at Alperton are probably the best in the country, the centre was custom built for the job. The Depot already attracts a high level of business, and with the new facilities a further upsurge is expected. After all it is very convenient to be able to have your truck repaired and to hire a replacement from the same place!
In addition. Godfrey Davis rental trucks also benefit from the service. They have a reputation for providing trucks of every high standard of maintenance, their procedures and systems are all tailored to keep this reputation. The Alperton centre is further evidence that they intend to keep it.
Although it is a show piece, the centre is located in a strategic position in the heart of a very large industrial area in North London and it is certainly regarded as a boon by local Transport Managers. A comprehensive range of Ford trucks is available from the 6 cwt to the 28-ton tractor in various forms, in addition other special vehicles include 32-ton 2and 3-axle Volvo Tractors.
To have this sort of fleet available on the doorstep is clearly worth a great deal to firms in the area.
