Ryder has added a further 37 7.5t DAF vehicles to the contract hire fleet it supplies to the nationwide delivery operation of Expert Logistics. These take the fleet size up to 85 as Expert Logistics rapidly expands its operations across the UK. Some of the new trucks will operate from the latest Expert Logistics depot which recently opened in Spennymoor, County Durham.

Expert Logistics, is a subsidiary of AO World plc, and has over 25 years’ experience of delivering white and brown goods. It handles AO’s online own brand – ao.com – as well as their other retailers such as Boots and Next

David Ashwell, Expert Logistics managing director comments, “Ryder understands our operational requirements well and is working with us very closely during this exciting expansion period. As we build our business nationally it is helpful to have a company like Ryder working as a strategic partner.”

Robin White, Ryder Europe sales and marketing director commented, “We have a long history of supplying HGVs to logistics organisations and our experience in the sector enables us to work with them to specify trucks that will help streamline their operation, whilst delivering cost and operational benefits.”
