NHS leases mix of DAF trucks from Ryder

A range of DAFs have been supplied to Salisbury Linen Services (SLS) to deliver laundry and hospital scrubs to almost 70 different NHS and health care providers across the South East.

Part of the Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, SLS has taken delivery of a mix of 12-tonne and 18-tonne box rigid DAFs from Ryder under a lease hire deal.

“It made sound business sense for us to have DAF vehicles as the warehouse we dispatch from is located at the same site as DAF dealer Brewers Truck Centre,” said SLS operations manager Anthony Proctor.

SLS is able to have its new Ryder vehicles maintained and serviced by Brewers - a Ryder-approved maintenance provider - reducing unnecessary downtime from travelling further afield for vehicle maintenance.
