Fleet, transport & logistics — Bradford

V-TUF supplies hot-water pressure washers, diesel-fired mobile cleaning systems and heavy-duty industrial vacuums to fleet managers, depot supervisors and logistics operators across Bradford and the Bradford Metropolitan District. Morrisons' Thornbury distribution centre — one of the largest grocery logistics operations in the UK — is headquartered in Bradford and generates substantial HGV fleet wash-down demand across its national distribution network. First Bradford and Arriva Yorkshire West operate large bus fleets from Bowling Back Lane depot. The M606/M62 logistics corridor — connecting Bradford to the national motorway network and the M62 trans-Pennine freight route — generates sustained commercial vehicle fleet cleaning demand across the Bradford district. The same logistics infrastructure also supports Bradford's commercial property and facilities estate across the district.
