To launch National Lorry Week (4th to 8th November), Welcome Break has announced a series of significant upgrades.
In a major collaboration with National Highways, Welcome Break has invested £1.7 million, matched by an equal contribution from National Highways, to modernise facilities across its HGV parks.
These upgrades include the construction of modern shower blocks, the installation of robust 3m high palisade security perimeter fencing, enhanced lighting with LED floodlights, and the deployment of advanced PTZ and Infrared Bi-Optic CCTV systems that are remotely monitored to ensure driver safety.
Nick Jackson, head of commercial income at Welcome Break, commented: “These improvements have not only created a safer and more comfortable environment for our drivers but also contributed to their overall well-being and job satisfaction.”
