CJ Lang & Son strengthens its fleet

The new additions to the wholesaler’s fleet are a part of its continued drive to reduce its impact on the environment.

CJ Lang & Son, the wholesaler for Spar Scotland, has added four vehicles to its distribution fleet. The bespoke Gray and Adams refrigerated boxes are combined with brand new Scania P320 vehicles and new Dhollandia underslung tail-lifts.

The company is also the first in the UK to incorporate the latest Thermo-King V-1000 engineless refrigeration units as part of its drive to reduce its environmental impact. These are in addition to the 12 new trailers added to the fleet earlier this year with the latest hybrid technology Thermo-King A-400 Advancer refrigeration units.

Ian Fleming, Transport Operations Manager at C J Lang & Son, said: “Reducing our emissions is a key part of our transport strategy and these new vehicles and refrigeration units will help us take another step forward on that journey.”

Meanwhile, CJ Lang has received an award from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents for its work to ensure the safety of its team members and customers.

Organisations receiving a RoSPA Award are recognised as being world-leaders in health and safety practice.

Every year, nearly 2,000 entrants vie to achieve the highest possible accolade in what is the UK’s longest-running H&S industry awards.

Brian Straiton, Operations Director, said: “This truly is a significant milestone, we have been dedicated to improving our health and safety culture across our business ensuring CJ Lang remains a safe environment for all our colleagues and customers.

“Throughout the journey, the key turning points were the development of our SharePoint system, the introduction of on-site health and safety audits, and improvements in safety culture.”
