Keywords : Haulage, Langholm, Shepherd

ne Unfortunate result when an old, established haulier is taken over is that another little bit of our haulage heritage dies as the corporate livery replaces that of the family firm. In a move that might start a trend, Hudson Shepherd has reversed this process at its Langholm depot in Dumfreisshire by repainting an ERF in the colours of the firm it bought 10 years ago. Hudson Shepherd took over Langholm haulier John M Young in 1985 and has now decided there is some value in reminding folk of the local connection, "We use the lorry mainly for local hauls, so we're keeping the name of John Young alive in our COMMunity," says depot manager Jimmy Middlemass.
