Renault Trucks blooming at Peter H Smiths

Specialist florist wholesaler, Peter H Smith Ltd., has taken delivery of two 3.5 tonne Renault Master 120.35s, through Renault Trucks distributor, JDS Trucks. The chassis cabs have both been extended to accommodate 16 foot, heavy duty but lightweight grp box bodies with aluminium flooring and a full length rear step. The trucks have also been fitted with reversing cameras.

In an important conquest deal for UK and JDS Trucks, they are the first Renaults to join a 15-strong mixed fleet of Iveco, DAF and Mercedes. The Renault Masters will be used to undertake daily deliveries of flowers from the company’s warehouse in Preston, Lancashire, to florists throughout the North West of England.

Ann Rainford, Director, Peter H Smith Ltd., says: “We were looking for a new 3.5 tonne supplier and the Renault Masters were recommended to us. We felt that they were competitively priced and following a test drive we put in an order straight away. They are well suited to daily deliveries and it’s reassuring to have the 3 year guarantee as standard.”

The Renault Master chassis were extended by Preston based Chassistech and the grb box bodies were built by Fosters Commercials, also of Preston.

Established in the 1920s, Peter H Smith Ltd. has been a flower wholesaler to the retail trade for over 80 years. The company is a major supplier of British grown flowers and plants and also sources flowers and plants from all over the world. Peter H Smith operates from its purpose built sales warehouse in Preston, Lancashire.
