Customer Endorsements

We have been working together in since 1995, 1 have always found your company to be reliable and honest. Having moved between 8,000 and 14,000 tonnes per annum over the last few years, I can confidently say I am extremely happy with the overall service you provide, so much so that we now only use AB Texel to handle our European bulk export business.

We have worked with many UK hauliers in the past and have found yours to be one of the best we have dealt with. We look for a high quality service at the right price and you certainly meet both criteria. You are the direct face to face representatives of our company whenever you collect or deliver to our suppliers and customers so it is critical for our reputation that your office and driving staff are both efficient, polite and helpful which they have continually proven to be.

Each and every load collected and delivered requires your staff to be able to react to many different situations as they arise and their flexibility and commitment has never let us down.

We look forward to continuing to build our businesses together in the future

Quote from a major European agricultural merchant based in the UK

Our company started working with A Bakker UK Transport in November 2006 and estimate you have moved around 14,100 loads for us (this is approximately 394,800 tonnes.)

We are very keen that any haulier we use not only provides a service at the right price, but is also reliable and can deliver a high quality service. The service provided by our haulier is one of the key points to a grower when he is choosing who to deal with. Our growers compliment the service provided.

I know that your company’s standards of health and safety you operate to are high.

I also cannot recollect any time you have ever had to cancel a delivery due to a vehicle breakdown / failure which, to me, gives confidence that your fleet of vehicles is maintained to a high standard. Your drivers are well trained with the vehicles always being correctly loaded and the drivers themselves are always very polite and cooperative.

The way in which you negotiate contracts is also extremely professional and I know you will only commit to work that you know you can carry out safely and legally.

Quote from a leading worldwide frozen food supplier

I have checked our records and I can see we started working together back in 1994. Since then, I would speculate you have moved somewhere in the region of 5.000 tonnes per annum (About 200 loads), which means we feel we are in an appropriate position to give you a true and fair reference.

We have had much experience in dealing with different hauliers and feel that you offer us a service that is well priced yet is also of high quality and extremely reliable - I cannot recall from memory an instance where we have had loads cancelled as a result of mechanical breakdowns, which leads me to believe your fleet must be well serviced and maintained.

I have always been impressed with the professionalism of both your drivers and the office staff. The drivers have always been helpful and courteous and the loads are always loaded safely and legally and corners are never cut. The negotiations of our contracts has always been very professional, I look forward to continue working with you in the future.

Quote from a European agricultural merchants based in the UK

I am writing to convey my views of your company since we began working together in 1998. 1 would estimate you have moved approximately 2,500 loads which equates to around 70,000 tonnes per year for us and I would like to express my opinion of our commercial relationship.

In our business, we look for quality, dependability and consistency from our hauliers and I have always found your company to match this criteria. Without the level of service you provide we would certainly suffer and therefore, to some extent, we depend on your company.

In all the years we have now been working together, I cannot recall any occasion where you had to cancel a contract due to breakdowns etc, and I am positive that your drivers are always careful and sufficiently trained to load the vehicles safely and appropriately. The drivers themselves have always proved to be helpful and polite.
