VOL02FR Oxford - Volvo Trucks - Stobart / Malcolm Charity Truck
Limited Edition Charity truck, Oxford will make a donation for each truck sold to Cancer Research and the Marie Keating Foundation. At the Emerald and Ivy Ball, held to raise money for Cancer Research UK, Andrew Malcolm put in a secret bid to have the name of his haulage company emblazoned on an Eddie Stobart Truck.
Everyone laughed when the bid was revealed as Stobart and Malcolm are arch rivals in business. Now the newest and biggest Eddie Stobart refrigerated trailer is pounding the motorways, with a special Malcolm Group livery emblazoned on one side, and the message ‘Together we will beat cancer’ The two biggest names in the UK logistics industry have joined forces to benefit Cancer Research. Before the charity event, Stobarts had already donated £151,700 to the charity, one pound for every mile a nominated truck had covered in 2010.
The other side of this massive monster above lists names of 75 individuals who have each pledged a £1000 financial contribution to the charity. And if that wasn’t enough, a husband at the ball bid £5,000 to have his wife’s name, Debby, as the truck’s name.
Ready made model 1:76 Scale / 00 Gauge ideal for model railway layouts.
