Truck shows and community sponsorship in-between 24/7 somehow for Manchetts Recovery!
Manchetts Recovery has had an exciting spring and start to summer, filled with community involvement and truck shows while working a 24/7 availability!
We sponsored the Burwell Community Fire & Rescue Station with Easter eggs for their hunt in April and Manchetts made it possible to give an unforgettable experience for Burwell FC U14's to visit the home of England's national teams at St Georges Park.
Our Facebook Truckfest Lincoln by Night video featuring our 2014 Scania Highline (Grandad truck) V8 R520 received over 58,000 views! The Grandad truck was also invited to the prestigious 14th Edition Truck Show in Ciney, Belgium!
We participated in the Stretham Feast, Wilburton beer fest, Burwell Carnival and Haddenham feast too! Sponsored Haughey Honey, and celebrated winning "Best of the Rest" for our Merc 6x6 off-road vehicle and 3rd place for best rigid at the Stonham Truck Show.
These accomplishments reflect our team's dedication to keeping our working trucks in top condition. Thank you to Adrian for his impressive engineering and wiring, Blaine, Andrew, Kev, Martyn, Jack, Sam, Dean, and their partners and families for their support and commitment, not forgetting the team back at base, Burwell, Ingham, Waterbeach and Ipswich.
Exciting Developments at Manchetts Recovery!
In May, Manchetts Recovery took a significant step forward by moving into our new premises in Claydon, Ipswich. This strategic move has fostered organic growth, allowing us to establish connections with new customers in the area.
One of the standout jobs in the area was our impressive vehicle movement of a 1918 Steam Engine for the Bill Kemble collection, which was showcased at the award-winning TNS stand, celebrating their 150th anniversary at the Suffolk Show. The engines we moved were sold by TNS in 1918 to the Kemble family and are still in the Kemball family today. We also recovered several horseboxes home after engine and electrical failure from the Suffolk show as well as exhibiting there. We were proud to be supporting local business's and families.
A special thank you goes out to George and Blaine for their daily involvement and dedication to ensuring smooth operations in Ipswich and for managing these remarkable vehicle movements.
Other exceptional vehicle movements have been by Allelys heavy haulage moving abnormal loads with an overall length of 89.161meters and a total combined weight of 706020kg! Our team Dean and Gregg have been assisting them in moving any vehicles parked in their way across the 3 counties!
We attended the Suffolk show to show case our specialist equipment and to network in the new community. Thanks to the team for three long arduous days setting up, chatting to potential customers and potential employees and taking it all down on the 3rd day. It was a great success thanks to Lindsay Powell, Andy Holliday, Jeni Davy, Sam Manchett-Arnold, Dean Fuller Gemma, Mandy & Sean Manchett.
