Helping Build the Foundations for Tom Willoughby’s Electric Van Transition

Tom Willoughby was formed back in 1896 and is one of the most successful privately owned construction companies in the Northeast. The company was acquired by the FT Group in 1994 and has grown consistently ever since, especially within the defence industry. Working in partnership with the Government’s nominated contractors for over 10 years, Tom Willoughby provides maintenance services and completes large scale refurbishment projects for numerous MOD sites in the Northeast, including Catterick Garrison and RAF Leaming. Its relationship with Dawsongroup began in 2015 and has gone from strength to strength ever since.

Laurren King, Key Account Manager for Dawsongroup vans, and Gary Henry, Sales Director, for Dawsongroup vans, have established a strong relationship with Paul Gittins, Tom Willoughby’s Fleet Manager, which has resulted in Dawsongroup being their sole supplier of LCVs. Dawsongroup’s strong understanding of the specific requirements Tom Willoughby needs from its fleet of vans is why the partnership has flourished over the years. Currently, we supply and maintain over 80 vans for them which are all liveried with their branding and modified to meet the needs of a construction company.

Like most businesses, Tom Willoughby is placing more importance on acting sustainably and looking at ways to reduce its carbon footprint. Becoming more sustainable will not only benefit Tom Willoughby, but it will also help benefit its customers in achieving their decarbonisation goals.
