Stephen Rhodes, Managing Director, said: “We were absolutely delighted to support TruckNess; we are the main sponsor of this wonderful community based charitable event that showcases the importance of the haulage industry throughout the North of Scotland.
“It was great to be able to connect with so many haulage businesses and members of the community – and, most importantly, raise vital funds for Cash for Kids which is a grant-giving charity helping disadvantaged children who need it most across North Scotland.
“Cash for Kids supports those who are affected by poverty, illness, neglect or have additional needs with grants going directly to families, community organisations and local charities who provide support to those who often have nowhere else to go.
“Additionally, we extended our involvement at Truckness to also make it a Highland Fuels Family Day where we hosted a BBQ which provided a great chance to unwind with family and friends, enjoy some food and drinks, and celebrate our participation in a truly unique setting.”
