Fox Group expands fleet with 18 new Scania trucks

Fox Group has strengthened its transport fleet with the purchase of 18 new Scania trucks for J Fisher & Sons, supporting the continued growth of the business and its increasing requirements across the north west.

This investment forms part of Fox's ongoing growth, ensuring its operating businesses have the vehicles, equipment and resources needed to meet customer demand and maintain high standards of service.

The new Scania trucks have been selected for their fuel efficiency, driver comfort, operational reliability and environmental performance. They will be deployed across a range of transport operations, providing additional capacity and helping Fox continue to deliver an efficient and reliable service to our customers.

Colin Fisher, director of J Fisher & Sons, said: “The exciting addition of 18 new wagons demonstrates our continued commitment to investing in the capabilities of J. Fisher & Sons and supporting the growth of the wider Fox Group.

"The expanded fleet will increase our capacity to transport road surfacing equipment, aggregates and recycled materials efficiently, helping customers deliver projects on time while supporting the principles of the circular economy. By enhancing our operational capability, we're investing in a more sustainable and resilient future for both our business and the industries we serve.”

Investment in modern vehicles is an important part of Fox's approach to maintaining and developing its operations. As demand for transport services continues to grow, it is essential to have the capacity and equipment to respond effectively.

By continually reviewing and upgrading its fleet, Fox aims to improve operational efficiency, support safe working practices and ensure vehicles remain suitable for the demands of day-to-day operations. This latest investment in Scania vehicles will help it achieve these objectives while providing J Fisher & Sons with additional resources to support its growing workload.

The purchase also demonstrates the benefits of intergroup synergy, with investment across Fox Group supporting the individual needs of its operating companies while strengthening the capabilities of the wider Group. By investing across its businesses, Fox can ensure each company is well equipped to meet its operational requirements while contributing to the overall performance of Fox Group.

Announcing the investment, Fox said: "Maintaining a modern and reliable fleet is essential to delivering safe, efficient and dependable services. The new vehicles will help us increase transport capacity, support the ongoing requirements of J Fisher & Sons and provide additional flexibility as customer demand develops.

"Alongside reliability and efficiency, we have also considered the importance of driver comfort and vehicle performance. Providing our drivers with modern vehicles is an important part of supporting safe and effective working practices across the Group.
