TCS&D Show Overview
It’s
been a few weeks since the Truckcraft team decamped to Peterborough
to attend the Temperature Controlled Storage & Distribution
Exhibition 2019. We’ve taken the time to reflect on our experiences
while there and tease out the invaluable insights that attendance
gave us.
We
aimed to showcase our new generation of delivery vehicles,
particularly our low-entry fridge freezer. Equally important was to
meet new clients and get feedback and reaction about this innovative
product that’s aimed at the foods and pharmaceutical sectors.
Of
particular interest was how to hear the industry’s comments and
opinions regarding our innovative partnership with TRAILAR and the
eco-friendly edge their solar technology has given our product range.
Potential
New Markets
The
Truckcraft stand attracted a lot of TCS&D Show visitors, and it
soon became apparent that the low entry fridge freezer has a much
broader appeal than at first envisaged. As Emma Jane Hamilton, our
Senior Sales Executive was delighted to learn.
“Interest was not restricted to just a couple of specific sectors as we thought, namely the pharmaceuticals and home delivery market. We found that the van has applications for the transportation of animals/insects, food production companies and could be even used as a versatile mobile shop.”
Truckcraft
FD Steven Leary had a similar reaction
‘A
big point that came out of it for me was the variety of end-users
that the vehicle would suit. That’s great to know for an ambitious
company like ours. We’ll certainly be exploring the possibilities
going forward.”
Truly
Unique
The
other key theme that emerged was equally exciting. One of the
advantages of being at an event like the TCS&D Show means it’s
very easy to benchmark your products with industry competitors to
weigh up how they compare.
And
the fantastic conclusion that all the Truckcraft team came to was
there is “…nothing else like our product currently in the market
place.”
That
stands as a testament to the hard work put in by our team to
recognise a substantial gap in the delivery vehicle market and
develop a product that fits it like a glove.
The
team learned the low-entry refrigerated truck body is truly unique.
And given the questions and interest shown at the TCS&D Show,
it’s clear Truckcraft has developed a world-beating product. A
vehicle that is packed with innovative features like solar
assistance, versatile racking solutions and eco-credentials capable
of tackling the harshest of clean air zone legislation.
And
all in a vehicle that is proven to save you money too. Like we said:
truly unique
Making
Contacts
The
point of attending shows like the TCS&D is to introduce our
company and products to new clients. To show them that Truckcraft is
developing products for the delivery sector that have the future
firmly in mind. A range of delivery vehicles that are highly capable
of facing future challenges for our industry.
From
that point of view, our attendance at the TCS&D Show 2019 was an
unqualified success. We’ll look to exhibit at similar shows in the
future and fly the flag for the great work we’re doing here in the
North West.
Well
done, everyone!
