TIP is delighted to have been certified as a ‘Great Place to Work’ in the UK for 2023-24, following a survey of its staff recently.

TIP Group is 55 years old today!

TIP has opened the doors at its brand-new mechanic academy this week, commencing trailer technician training to 12 new, and relatively inexperienced, but lucky applicants.

TIP’s Grayrentals business ‘re-brands’ and is referred to as just TIP.

TIP’s charity fundraising effort for this year is now finished, with this year’s cycle ride raising £93,111 for the Douglas Macmillan Hospice in Staffordshire. In June, a team of nearly 50 TIP customers, staff and partners from across the UK and Irish transport industry embarked on the ‘Game of Thrones’ challenge to cycle 300 kilometres from Split to Dubrovnik, Croatia in 3 days. The ‘Fat Bottomed Boys & Girls’ team tackled busy city centres, blistering heat and around 10,000 feet of hill climb along the Dalmatian Coast in order to complete the challenge.

TIP Group has supplied Vantec with seven new DAF XF tractor units that are powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), helping our third party logistics provider customer to boost its sustainability goals.

TIP Group guests from across the transport industry gathered at Greenway Hall recently for a somewhat competitive afternoon on the beautiful, but tough, Staffordshire course.

We are pleased to launch our new used sales division for trucks, based from a new TIP site in Warrington.

TIP’s ‘Fat Bottomed Boys & Girls’ team has completed this year’s charity cycle ride, seemingly the most challenging for a few years.

TIP Group has been busy supporting specialist UK haulage and distribution company Longs of Leeds recently with the supply of both new trailers and trucks to refresh and expand its fleet.

It was great to attend the 2023 Dougie Mac Business Partnership Awards last week, especially as the fantastic charity were celebrating their 50th anniversary. To come away with three award wins was a super bonus!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the ‘TIP Mechanic Academy’, a ‘first of its kind’ in the commercial vehicle maintenance and repair sector.
