Title: Ark suppliers/ Manufacturers in Scotland
Post by: The Woodsiders on June 01, 2012, 11:31:59 am
Hi
Can anybody let me know if there are any Pig Ark manufacturers / Suppliers in Scotland. We have requests for our arks for potential customers in Scotland but the cost of transportation makes the cost prohibitive as we are based in South East England.
We would be happy to pass any enquiries to someone else if needs be, that way the customer would be happy and the supplier gets some extra business.
I have been trying to contact Bidgemire but the internet search takes me to another unrelated site.
I would be grateful for your help.

try www.truckspace.co.uk (http://www.truckspace.co.uk/) they organise backloads for wagons all over uk. Just google backloads uk and they pop up. When i worked in the steel industry (when we had one  ::) )we used one of these services on a regular basis.
