The owners of a Stoke-on-Trent truck park are hosting a community day to celebrate a year of developments at their site.
The ADS Truck Show will take place later this month and promises to be free fun with activities for all the family.
It is being held at the Willow Row site, in Longton, from 11am on Saturday, 30 November.
It follows the unveiling of brand-new driver welfare facilities at the ADS Truck Parking site in April after receiving a £225,000 grant, as reported by Daily Focus.
And in September the truck stop team were finalists in the High Street Impact category of the Staffordshire University Business Awards, for their support to other businesses located in their local town.
Owners Andrew Sargent and Berni Buxton, pictured above, have also recently opened a café in Meir, Stoke-on-Trent.
Owner Andrew Sargent said: “It has been a bit of a rollercoaster of a year.
“We always aim to provide quality facilities to drivers and to be able to open our new driver welfare facilities earlier this year was great – driver welfare is of utmost importance and we will always do what we can to provide home from home comforts.
“Then to be finalists in our very first business awards was incredible – we couldn’t believe it.
“Now as we start to look towards the end of 2024, we want to welcome our local communities along – as well as other businesses – to enjoy our truck show – which will be open to everyone. There will be things to do for all the family and we are very much looking forward to it.”
Andrew and Berni are no strangers when it comes to competing in truck shows themselves.
This summer, they travelled the length and breadth of the country, clocking up more than 3,000 miles from Scotland to Lincoln, to take part in shows.
Their efforts showing Berni’s own truck has itself scooped 14 second place positions as well as being highly commended in other categories.
