Daventry-based NX Group has marked its 13th year of partnership with Asset Alliance Group with the delivery of 12 new DAF XG 530 trucks.
The 12 new units are primarily based at NX Group’s Crick depot, near the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal, where its warehousing operation and transport team are based.
The DAFs have been supplied on two-year contract hire deals with repair and maintenance packages.
The new additions join NX Group's fleet of more than 30 commercial vehicles, which consists of a mix of box-sided trucks from 18 tonnes up to 44-tonne tractor unit and trailer combinations.
Founded in 2010, the group offers secure supply chain solutions to customers that include technology resellers and retailers, fashion retail gaming and E-sports, and home goods suppliers.
Neil Powell, NX Group MD, said Asset Alliance Group has provided a large part of its fleet since 2012.
He added: “At NX we pride ourselves on forming lasting partnerships with both our customers and suppliers, and Asset Alliance Group is a great example of this.
“They have consistently proven themselves, delivering a reliable and efficient service, modern vehicles, with a proactive attitude and excellent communication and customer service. We hope to continue our successful working relationship with them for many years to come.”
Powell said the company generally prefers short lease deals. “They suit the business and allow us to ensure that our fleet is kept up-to-date with new vehicles. It also minimises costly additional maintenance or excess mileage charges,” Powell explained.
The deal was facilitated by Stuart Sadler, business development manager for the Midlands and the South East. He said: “It’s been a pleasure to play our part in supporting the growth of NX Group over the years and we look forward to a continuing, fruitful collaboration.”
