Spalding, UK: FreshLinc is to add 120 Krone reefers to its fleet – one of which is liveried with a difference.
The special livery pays tribute to the transport industry and NHS and designed by Olivia Chatterley, the 6 year-old daughter of a FreshLinc supplier. It will feature on a trailer visiting care homes and hospitals around the UK on Thursday evenings, as part of the national “Clap”, to show appreciation to doctors and nurses on the front line.
The livery combines hand-painted images of a truck, bus and the now familiar NHS rainbow symbol, the colourful design says: ” Thank you to our transport workers, Thank you NHS for helping us through Covid-19″.
Andy Marchant, fleet engineer, FreshLinc, said: “I was kindly sent the picture by Olivia – which was done as part of a school project – and together with our operations director Lee Juniper, thought it was so good and such a fitting tribute to the NHS and key workers that we would have it transformed into a large vinyl wrap and put onto one of our trailers, which will be delivering produce around the country.”
“During these unusual times the resolve and support of every FreshLinc employee, key-worker and supplier partner is relied on to maintain an uninterrupted flow of food items to retailers throughout the country. In keeping with this, our focus is on the safety and well-being of our staff while keeping up with the daily demands of our customers and accordingly, we have introduced various safety measures and additional cleaning regimes,” Marchant said.
