Expansion in the pipeline at Lymm Truckwash
Lymm Truckwash Ltd, which is said to be the largest and oldest truck wash in Europe, has reported plans to expand its Poplar Park site to meet increased customer demand and ensure driver waiting times are kept to a minimum, following another successful year of trade.
Located on the M6/M56 intersection, Lymm Truckwash is a family-run business and the largest truck washing facility in Europe. The truck wash is now in the planning process of adding three brand-new washbays to accommodate high customer turnover and increasing demand from drivers from both the UK and Europe.
Washing over 60,000 trucks a year, Lymm Truckwash’s customers range from owner-drivers to major fleet operators such as DHL, Manfreight, BM Transport, Hoyer, XPO and GXO. First opened by husband-and-wife team John and Anne Cardwell in 1967, the business is now run by their daughter, Laura Cardwell, who has taken the business to new heights following a relocation to its new, purpose-built site at Poplar Park.
Having noted increasingly high demand last year, especially at peak times, the team’s planned on-site expansion with the addition of the three new washbays will ensure any queues are kept to a minimum, says the company, whilst also ensuring regular and new customers receive the best service. This expansion will see the site offer seven washbays in total.
Laura Cardwell, Managing Director of Lymm Truckwash, commented: “Washing around 60,400 trucks last year, we have entered 2024 busier than ever.
“The HGV community is important to us, and we want to offer a consistently great service to our returning customers, as well as a few extras on us such as our free tea or coffee and air freshener, plus our driver/customer days.
“Having listened to recent feedback and spotted issues around availability at peak times, we see it fitting to add another three washbays to our offering.
“We’re so grateful for this continued business and will continue to listen to how we can improve year-on-year.”
In April, Lymm Truckwash provided light refreshments for its customers as part of its Driver Day, which also saw the site play host to trailer technology provider Jost GB. The company was demonstrating its KKS Push Button automatic coupling system (more information here) and providing drivers with free merchandise.
The Lymm Truckwash team reports that it has an exciting events calendar planned for the remainder of 2024. On May 22–23, the team will welcome for the first time Mercedes-Benz and its latest Actros trucks, with free merchandise available.
Lymm Truckwash will be attending a new truck show this year, the Kelsall Steam Rally which falls on 22 -23 June. Its annual stall at the North West TruckFest in Knutsford from 14-15 September is also set to return.
Customers can follow the company on Twitter and on Facebook to receive regular updates, and to enter competitions with a chance to win a free wash and other merchandise.
