Centurion Truck Rental is supporting the continued growth of GBA Logistics with the supply of a new fleet of DAF XF 530 sleeper cab trucks on contract hire.
GBA Logistics is a valued Centurion customer, with a relationship built on trust through strong working relationships between the two businesses. The partnership has continued to develop as GBA has expanded its transport and logistics operation across the UK.
Centurion Truck Rental provides commercial vehicle rental and contract hire solutions to businesses across the UK, with a range of vehicles supported by fully managed fleet services.
GBA Logistics provides transport and logistics services to customers across the UK and Europe, with its operation spanning traction, general haulage and related transport services. As the business continues to expand its capabilities, having the right fleet and support in place is an important part of its operation.
The latest fleet investment forms part of GBA’s continued development and increased operational capability. The DAF XF 530s provide additional capacity while offering the efficiency, comfort and specification required for demanding transport operations.
For Centurion, the partnership extends beyond vehicle supply. Its contract hire service provides GBA with a fully managed fleet solution, including maintenance and ongoing support, allowing the business to focus on its own customers and operations.
Rachael Forshaw, Managing Director of GBA Logistics, said:
“As our business continues to evolve, we need partners that understand where we’re going, not just where we are today. Our customers expect reliability, responsiveness and consistent service, and that means having fleet support we can trust. What stood out with Centurion was their commitment to communication, service and understanding our operation. It feels like a genuine partnership rather than a supplier relationship.”
Understanding how customers operate is central to Centurion’s approach. From vehicle specification through to ongoing fleet support, the aim is to provide a solution that reflects the practical requirements of each business.
This is particularly important for GBA as it continues to develop its service offering and increase its transport capacity.
Warren Fletcher, Managing Director of Centurion Truck Rental, said:
“GBA is a great example of the type of customer relationship we value at Centurion. We take the time to understand how our customers operate and what they need from their fleet, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
The new DAF XF 530s are an important part of GBA’s next stage of development and we’re pleased to be providing the vehicles and ongoing support behind them.”
The latest fleet delivery builds on an established relationship between the two businesses, with both teams continuing to work closely as GBA’s requirements develop.
