2U Food takes delivery of Isuzu Grafters

Merseyside-based 2U Food has received the first 11 of a planned 21 new 3.5-tonne Isuzu N35.125 Grafters, each mounted with specialist Jiffy Banquet bodywork from Jiffy Trucks.

The custom-built bodywork features a dedicated oven, ambient storage and a refrigerated compartment to offer convenient access to a range of hot and cold food, plus drinks. With features such as an auto on/off hand wash unit, the new vehicles will provide mobile catering solutions to businesses across the Northwest of England.

Paul Foster, managing director of 2U Food, said: “We are consistently impressed by the performance and reliability of every Isuzu in our fleet. When you add the superb aftersales support we receive from the dealer network, it’s clear to see why we’ve returned to them time and time again.

“Our fleet is continually growing, and we now regard Isuzu Truck as our most trusted chassis partner; their vehicles keep the wheels of our business turning.”

Foster added: “Historically, we used to keep two spare vehicles to provide cover for breakdowns, as we would never want to risk letting our customers down. However, since moving to Isuzu, we’ve found we no longer need to do that. With the Grafter we reliably get more miles from every one on the fleet, with significantly less downtime.”

The new Isuzu trucks will operate Monday to Friday, clocking up between 200 and 700 miles per week. They leave 2U Food’s hub in Rainford and Manchester each morning, delivering fresh food to customers across Cheshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
