For businesses like Forward Glass, efficiency, reliability, and customer satisfaction are paramount. As one of the UK’s leading specialists in toughened glass for double-glazed units, Forward Glass needed a transport solution that reflected the precision and care they bring to their products. So, when the time came to upgrade their vehicles, they needed a quality fleet management partner to match.
Forward Glass has been setting the standard in the industry for over 25 years. Now part of the Cornwall Group, the business continues to expand, recently investing nearly £1 million in a new toughening plant to meet increasing demand. With this growth comes the need for a modernised fleet, ensuring that deliveries remain efficient, safe, and fully compliant with clean air zone regulations, which is critical for reaching customers across the region.
Together, Alltruck plc and Forward Glass have crafted two brand-new custom-built 18-tonne DAF trucks; designed to enhance Forward Glass’ distribution capabilities, ensure smooth deliveries of their products, and protect their reputation.
These new DAF trucks are the first step in a broader fleet upgrade, supporting their 16-vehicle operation with enhanced safety features, including reversing and side-view cameras, giving drivers greater control and confidence on the road. These refinements ensure that deliveries are handled with precision and care.
Forward Glass needed a fleet team that understood their business, their challenges, and their long-term goals – and Alltruck plc has ticked all these boxes.
Stephen Gwilliam, Finance Director at Forward Glass, explains:
“The Alltruck team has been brilliant from day one. Communication was clear and quick throughout, and that kind of reliability is exactly what we were looking for in a fleet partner. This is a relationship built on trust.
“These trucks are our flagship vehicles which represent our commitment to delivering quality and service. The refreshed livery supports both our strong brand image and our quality product. It’s smart but still recognisable. The added safety and tracking features also raise the bar for our distribution capabilities.
Working closely with Alltruck, the specification and delivery process was smooth and straightforward.”
With a strong customer-focused fleet solution in place, Forward Glass is well-equipped to continue delivering exceptional service while adapting to future industry demands. Their investment in modern vehicles ensures that they remain agile, efficient, and fully aligned with customer expectations.
