HESTAIR Dennis Ltd, specialised vehicle manufacturer of Guildford, has announced exports for 1977 worth £12 million — 40 per cent up on 1976 figures.
This accounted for some 60 per cent of total turnover and, claims the company, makes it the largest exporter of UK commercial vehicles behind Leyland, Chrysler, Ford and Vauxhall.
The company was recently awarded the Sunday Times Export Prize for the most praiseworthy effort from the shopfloor in 1977.
SOME international carriers and their clients are likely to suffer losses as a result of delays caused to lorries going through Turkey to Iran and the Middle East by a change in Customs practices at the Bulgarian-Turkish border. Delays of up to five days have been reported.
