“Transport Trailers is a market leading company providing Truck & Trailer Equipment to a number of leading companies as well as smaller owner operators. They all demand equipment they can rely on. That’s why we as a company strive to produce a top quality product which we and the Client can be proud of. I have been with Transport Trailers 7 years, and in that time there have been numerous challenges, but when you see the finished product roll out of the workshop for the final time prior to delivery it makes it all worth it.”
DANIEL HUGHES
“I have worked at Transport Trailers for almost 7 years. In the time I have been here I have felt like a valued employee, and I have always felt like I can speak openly. The directors are very approachable. Transport Trailers has very much a family business culture lead by the Directors. They care about employee wellbeing and safety at work and away from work. Transport Trailers has a good vibe in the workshops, with good people producing a quality product and I enjoy spending my days here.”
