BRS celebrates 70th anniversary01 June 2018

Contract hire and rental business BRS is marking its 70th anniversary with a range of events and has commissioned a specially liveried Range T460 6x2 demonstrator to commemorate the occasion.

Formerly the Road Haulage Executive trading as British Road Services, it was established in 1948 as part of the post war nationalisation of industry programme.

By the late 1970s, BRS was part of the National Freight Company and in 1981 it was the subject of an employee buyout, led by then chairman Sir Peter Thompson. In 1994, BRS’s Renault business and contract hire portfolio was acquired by Volvo Group, and in 2010 an agreement was reached for BRS to offer only Renault Trucks products.

“As well as taking a trip down memory lane this year, we will be focusing on the future and building on the customer-centric approach and commitment to service excellence that has been at the heart of our long-term success,” says Graham Scholes, managing director.
