In early 2015, Statham’s were approached by the organisers of the Help for Heroes Leighton Buzzard Fundraising Spring Event to provide recovery back-up. We were happy to oblige and 3 our recovery vehicles joined the 50 strong Truck convoy which processed from M1 Junction 9 TruckStop at Flamstead to Billington, Leighton Buzzard on the morning of Saturday 9th May. Our two American Kenworth trucks were joined in the convoy by our Landrover Incident Manager vehicle. It was a spectacular sight to see all those trucks passing through Dunstable High Street.
At the Billington afternoon show, our trucks were pictured with the Stig (or 1 of the many), Hero the Bear – the Help for Heroes Mascot and the Mayor of Leighton Buzzard. To top off a great day, Statham’s were awarded the Best in Show third prize for its recovery fleet.
