 Gray & Adams are delighted to have secured a contract to manufacture leading foodservice supplier, Brakes, refrigerated body requirements for 2008. According to Matt Greener, Purchasing Manager for the Brakes Group, Gray & Adams offered the best commercial deal when the business was put to tender.
Gray & Adams will manufacture a total of 75 replacement 13-tonne vehicles over the coming months, with the first six due for delivery in June.
Mr Greener, who works alongside Steven Bannon, Brakes Fleet Operations Manager, believes that the important factors to look for in a bodybuilder are quality, reliability and value for money, however another factor that is becoming increasingly desirable is what Mr. Greener calls “innovation”. Mr Bannon added, “Gray & Adams is a pro-active company that is continually trying to improve their products. Although we have a bespoke Brakes specification, Gray & Adams is continually bringing new ideas to the table that they think will benefit the Brakes operation as they have built up a good understanding of our needs…They certainly have unique selling points within the build."
Brakes are widely recognised as a market leader in the sector of specialist multi-temperature foodservice distribution, offering comprehensive solutions to customers’ supply chain requirements. The company, which currently distributes to a variety of prominent customers such as Debenhams and John Lewis, prides itself on providing quality service and customer focused solutions.
All products manufactured by Gray & Adams are constructed to the same high standards of quality and strength and are all bespoke designed with a strong focus on the customer’s operation and the end-users requirements. It is hoped that Gray & Adams can continue their valued business relationship with the Brakes Group into 2009 and further into the future. |
