week ending April 11, 1987 and your article on Linfood, which I was drawn to because our company, Plastic Protections Limited, manufactured and signwrote (by hand) all 39 pairs of 'Stronghold' spec. insulated curtains.
I feel it is time that someone pointed out to people like your writer Geoff Hadwick that 'Tautliner' is a trade name for bodywork and curtains manufactured by Boalloy and does not simply mean any curtainsided body or trailer on the road.
We at Plastic Protections are by far the largest manufacturer of load retaining curtains in the UK. We supply the whole bodybuilding trade and also Fleet/end operators. Our curtains are renowned throughout the transport field under our trade name of Stronghold'.
It's a great shame that so often our company doesn't get a mention, when you consider that the main part of the trailer make up are the side curtains.
Perhaps we can see that word 'STRONGHOLD' appearing in the future.
