With a new name, look, depot and fleet, Tait Transport Solutions is still providing the same professional service it first delivered seven years ago. Kevin Swallow travelled to Bellshill to speak with boss Chris Tait about the transformation.
LAST YEAR, Chris Tait made sweeping changes to the seven-year-old transport business he started following his departure from DHL.
Out went the old DGG Freight name, to be renamed and rebranded as Tait Transport Solutions. The aging fleet of owned trucks was replaced with new vehicles in a deal struck with Dawsongroup, and if that wasn’t enough, the company relocated from its shared space at Cumbernauld to a new site, complete with warehousing, in Bellshill.
I’ve arrived at the new site, which would be a credit to anyone involved in transport. It looks clean and smart having just been given a fresh coat of paint.
