Our Latest Feature in Trucking Magazine
McCarthy Marland is delighted to have been chosen as the operator profile in the latest edition of Trucking Magazine. As a leading publication in the road and transport industry, Trucking is widely read across many key roles within the sector – from operators to drivers, and everyone in between. So when the team contacted us and asked to visit our recycling hub in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, we jumped at the opportunity…
How McCarthy Marland Has Been Revolutionising Recycling
For those of you who don’t know, Kevin McCarthy originally set up McCarthy Waste in 2001. Since then, the business has gone from strength to strength, and we now operate four full-service waste and recycling centres across the southwest.
Upon the acquisition of our Gloucestershire site in 2021, we found that many of the vehicles we inherited were not up-to-scratch; and so we welcomed a pair of Scania R500s to complete our diverse fleet.
Our Transport Manager, Kevin Shipway, commented: “We found we now had three ageing Volvo tractors to do the work of two trucks. So as one broke down, we had to swap that out and use the spare while the first was fixed, until another one broke…I had to find a better way [so] I contacted Scania South West and got the two R500s through the Scania Go programme.”
As a result of the new Scanias, our drivers now have a renewed sense of pride in their vehicles that didn’t exist previously. Our Gloucestershire site has been rebranded, and all vehicles are now standardised, which will allow the McCarthy brand to continue growing for many years to come.
