RGH SUPPLIES IS 24 YEARS OLD !!
There have been many changes over the years from when Lynda and I started out in 2002. As well as the setting up of the new company I was doing the actual deliveries with one vehicle and a trailer. We now have two sites, 10 staff and have substantially increased our fleet of vehicles and forklift trucks.
We now operate 6 delivery vehicles, i.e. 3 x 3.5T delivery vehicles, 2 x 26T vehicles and 1 x 32T vehicle. Our trusted Volvo has now reached the grand old age of 20 years and is still going strong! We operate 8 assorted forklift trucks at both sites.
Both the 26T and the 32T all have offload facilities to make deliveries much easier. Many of our customers when asked about whether our lorries could access their premises would say “The dustcart can get to us!” Therefore, our latest 26T is a recycled dustcart and has been named Dusty by our driver Martin. It has a very short wheel base with an incredible turning circle and excellent load capacity with a 4-way Moffett for easy unloading and manoeuvrability.
Many thanks to Goddard Engineering for the excellent conversion works to Dusty.
Towards the end of 2025 I had a meeting with Alex Moss (Mossy) about joining our small, but very efficient company. He was taken on by us with a view to promoting us at markets and on farms as a Mobile Van Sales Representative. The van is always well stocked and orders can be taken for delivery at a later date. It took just over 3 weeks to purchase, sign write and outfit a vehicle which as many of you have already seen at the markets and on farms.
In closing special thanks to:-
My excellent team of professional and hard-working staff.
My loyal band of customers who are much appreciated by RGHSL.
My suppliers who keep both our yards well stocked.
My Landlords, R. Harrison & Sons and Vince Smith.
All the Contractors who we employ from time to time for repairs, maintenance etc.
