Fowler Welch makes it a ‘ton’ with Volvo and Crossroads

Leading Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) distribution company Fowler Welch have put their 100th Volvo truck into service just 18 months after taking their first Volvo’s for over 10 years.

The 100th Volvo, which features a special commemorative livery based on the Fowler Welch logo, is part of an order for 76 FH-460 Globetrotter-cabbed 6x2 tractor units supplied by Volvo Dealer Crossroads Truck and Bus at Rotherham.

Good experience with Volvo’s fuel economy and excellent in-service support from Crossroads and the Dealer Network were central to the decision to continue to operate Volvo’s, says Fowler Welch Commercial Director Lee Juniper: “Volvo’s fuel economy and whole life costs are unbelievably well suited to our operational profile. All the comments we have had back from our distribution network have been positive. The service we get from every single Volvo Dealer is second to none. The whole package is positive.”

Lee Juniper is also pleased with the high spec FH’s, saying, “It’s a cracking product, the driver’s love them and Crossroads can’t do enough for you. Volvo and Crossroads were very aggressive to get the business. Volvo Financial Services look after us well and we’ve taken their Gap insurance product as well as the lease. Overall, dealing with Volvo and Crossroads is a rewarding experience deserving of 10 out of 10.”
