Gloucester-based Collett Transport Services was awarded the Municipal Vehicle Rental Fleet of the Year Award, at the 2011 Plant & Waste Recycling Show (PAWRS) at Paignton, last June.

The award was achieved in recognition of CTS being the leading private sector organisation hiring vehicles to municipal organisations. A number of different manufacturer's trucks are employed within the 120- strong rental fleet depending upon gross vehicle weight.

At 7.5 tonnes however the mainstay of the Collett fleet is the Isuzu N75.190 Forward model and this should come as no surprise because another arm of the Collett business is the Isuzu truck franchise under the banner of Collett Isuzu Gloucester.

The company has also successfully hosted the South West and Wales Municipal Vehicle Exhibition (with CIWM Regional Conference) in July at their Isuzu dealer premises in Gloucester.

Concurrent with the exhibition was a full demonstration of the Isuzu municipal truck range.
