New vans hit the road for century-old bakery in Lancashire

Two Nissan Interstar Luton vans have been adapted for Morris Quality Bakers in Lancashire.

The rear-wheel-drive vehicles, supplied by Chorley Group, are now used daily by the bakery, which has been around for more than 100 years.

Robson Broomhead, corporate centre manager at Chorley Group, said: “It was an absolute pleasure to assist Morris Quality Bakers Limited with their two latest acquisitions, guiding the process from start to finish.

“The vehicles began their journey as Nissan Interstars (RWD chassis).

“Over the past few months, they have undergone a transformation at Fosters Commercials Ltd, where bespoke Luton bodies were expertly crafted.

“These bodies were enhanced with the addition of side doors and cantilever tail lifts at the rear, ensuring seamless functionality for the bakery’s daily delivery operations.

Mr Broomhead said seeing the finished vehicles was: ‘‘truly satisfying, especially after Signcraft in Chorley had added the company’s corporate identity.”

Henry Morris, owner of Morris Quality Bakers, said: “The vans are ideal for our needs and have now entered service.

“It was a pleasure to deal with Chorley Group and Robson Broomhead in particular, and we look forward to the relationship continuing during this year and beyond.”
