Truxx Factor Show

A.W. Jenkinson Transport Limited attended ‘Truxx Factor Show’ at Rockingham Raceway this September, with A.W. Jenkinson employees Jonny Butler and Darren Beech being awarded first place trophies, as shown pictured.

Jonny was up against a large variation of trucks with PX17 BXV in the ‘Best New Truck Category’ under 18 months old and came away with first place. Darren with C243 OHH was up against 51 other trucks in the Classic/Vintage Restored category and also came away with first place.

In August this year, A.W. Jenkinson Transport Limited attended The Gloucestershire Vintage and Country Extravaganza, together with 300 other commercial vehicles.

With a show of 4 immaculate A.W. Jenkinson Transport Limited trucks in the Commercial Section, a good day was had by all.
