Green and Oily Fingers!

The clocks have changed, the garden is starting to bloom and leading national garden machinery distributor Henton and Chattell has invested £40,000 to keep its supply chain moving.

Henton and Chattell, well known to London Road drivers with its position between the canal and Meadow Lane was established over 70 years ago.

It now employs almost 70 staff and supplies over 1500 large and independent retailers nationwide. The company boasts brand names, such as Notts-headquartered, Langar-based John Deere, as a supplier.

As part of its commitment to keep Britain gardening, Henton and Chattell has bought a new flatbed truck for £40k from Lenton Lane Renault trucks distributor RH Commercial Vehicles (RHCV).

It is the only truck on the site which has a fleet of 8 vans, delivering everything from replacement parts to ride-on mowers.

Wayne Hallam, Service Manager at Henton and Chattell, commented on the new addition to the fleet, “From our 80,000 square feet of warehouse in London Road, the Logistics Team are able to despatch, on demand, any product, to any destination, countrywide, in most cases the ‘next day’ and having trucks we can rely on is a massive part of our service.

 “When it came to purchasing a new truck we certainly shopped around but nothing could beat the specification and value we could get with a Renault Truck from RHCV.”

Nottingham’s RH Commercial Vehicles ‘mowed down’ the competition to make the sale and will also be taking care of the ongoing maintenance of Henton and Chattell’s new vehicle.

Simon Bailey, Sales Manager at RHCV, comments “We’re thrilled to be working with Henton and Chattell, who is such a prestigious Nottingham-based firm. They’re a big name in Nottingham and they have history in the city.”

RHCV is an authorised selling agent for Renault Trucks and provides new and used sales, service and parts for the full Renault Trucks range as well as all-makes parts and servicing for commercial vehicles.  It offers a full range of sales and aftermarket services including parts sales, dedicated paint shop and a designated MOT bay.
