At Ford & Slater, we love inspiring the next generation! 💭 When Daisy-Kate, the niece of our Peterborough Parts Business Development Manager, Kate Parsons, wanted to learn more about what her aunt does, we couldn’t resist giving her a special tour. Kate took her around our Peterborough depot for an insider's look at our operations, followed by a visit to AC Binns Ltd to meet Anthony Binns and his team, and to check out their impressive trucks. We’re pretty sure we’ve sparked a new passion—future Ford & Slater family member in the making! 😁 #DAF #FordandSlater #DAFTrucks #HGV #Haulage

We caught up with Pete Debenham, from Ford & Slater Parts Norwich, following his win at the PACCAR Parts Conference last month, and here's what he had to say! 👇 "To be nominated for Parts Sales Manager of the year within the DAF Network feels such a big achievement and when I heard about the news after the birth of my Baby Boy this topped off what was already a fantastic start to the week. I would like to mention that I could not have achieved this award without my team with the buy in from them into my ideas and plans for the department this has meant we can we make a stamp in Norfolk to be the number one parts supplier. With this we had brilliant success in 2023 and this has continued into 2024." Jamie Arsmden, Ford & Slater General Manager – Group Parts Sales, also took Pete and the team out to dinner to celebrate this, along with their impressive sales growth. 🥳 #Ford&Slater #PACCARPartsConference #Award #PartsSalesManagerOfTheYear
