When it comes to trucking in the UK, there’s Eddie Stobart and then there’s everyone else. It is, by a country mile, the nation’s best-known and best-loved logistics company. After all, what other transportation company has its own fan club?
There’s just something about Eddie Stobart that sets it apart from the competition. Maybe it’s the drivers, like Mark Dixon from Eddie Stobart: Trucks & Trailers, the ‘star’ of our very own TV ad, which you can see by clicking the image on the left; or perhaps it’s the lovingly maintained cabs, each one individually named and numbered; then again, it could be the name itself, so reassuringly solid and reliable!
But it’s probably all of these things, plus the fact that Eddie Stobart is a great British success story – a little local firm from Cumbria that went on to conquer the world of road haulage.
Even today, despite its impressive size, Eddie Stobart Ltd still has the aura of a friendly family firm - albeit one with a multi-million pound turnover. And it's exactly that combination of business acumen and approachability that helps make the company so popular.
That’s why we at Atlas Editions have worked together with Eddie Stobart to bring you ‘Emma Jade’, this officially licensed and perfectly crafted 1:76 scale diecast Volvo FH Fridge Trailer. It’s 100% accurate in every respect – from the stunning red, white and green trailer livery to the beautifully rendered Volvo cab. Even the number plate’s correct. Plus, of course, there’s that extra special touch – the ‘Emma Jade’ name in the front grille and doors, along with the ‘H4663’ fleet number that all true Stobart spotters look out for. It really is a completely exact replica of the real thing. If you're really lucky - and if you keep your eyes peeled - you may even see the real Emma Jade trucking up and down a motorway near you. In fact, why not go the whole hog and join the Eddie Stobart spotter's club? It's great fun and you can find out more at www.clubstobart.co.uk
An impressive 23cm long, this finely-crafted model will take pride of place in any Stobart lover’s home. We’ve even created a fantastic trailer style box for it, and when you order today you will also receive a Certificate of Authenticity and a FREE Eddie Stobart pin badge, all for just £2.99, plus FREE p&p.
The modern-day Stobart success story began in the 1970s, when Edward Stobart took over his father Eddie’s agricultural clearance business and began to turn it into the company we all know and love today. In those early days Edward even drove the trucks himself. He also hit upon the idea of naming each truck, calling the first four after his favourite female entertainers: Twiggy, Dolly (Parton), Tammy (Wynette) and Suzi (Quatro). This tradition continues to this day, with club members getting the opportunity to name cabs.
And did you know that musician and TV star Jools Holland was the very first Eddie Stobart truck spotter - or so legend has it. In the late 1970s and early 1980s Jools and his band Squeeze were almost permanently on tour. They noticed there seemed to be more Stobart trucks on the road than any other lorry, so they whiled away the long motorway journeys by noting the names of as many as they could. And so a national craze was born!
Today, under Edward’s brother William Stobart and Chief Executive Andrew Tinkler, the company has gone on to even bigger and better things, branching out into planes and trains as well as automobiles. Eddie Stobart is no longer simply a trucking firm but is Britain’s leading multi-modal and logistics company, with more than 5,000 employees, 2,250 trucks, 3,500 trailers and 6 million square feet of warehousing around the UK!
