RocketGro grows its fleet of branded lorries ahead of 2026
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

Having enjoyed a record year in 2025, RocketGro further expands its capacity to make deliveries to garden centres using their own vehicles, by adding further lorries to their fleet!

 

With a growing wish to be able to take direct control of more and more of the deliveries they make through the season, RocketGro have made another significant investment in their business. The company believes that taking more deliveries in house will mitigate risk, and further ensure that deliveries are made on time and customer service levels remain high.

 

RocketGro Managing Director Toby Thomas commented: “Another big moment in the ongoing growth story of our business has arrived. With more of our own branded lorries we are increasing our marketing activities on the road in front of the buying public, and making sure we have more power to move at speed and get our product to garden centres when we want to, not when hauliers tell us they can.

 

"Relying solely on local haulage is not 100% and we are aiming to have a decent spread of deliveries across different networks and our own fleet, with further branded lorries already delivered to us and more on order. Exciting times!”
