Press Release | 14th August 2025 | For immediate release
Tiger Trailers has designed, manufactured, and begun supplying forty-nine new temperature-controlled reefers for Greencore – a leading chilled, frozen, and ambient convenience food supplier to some of the most well-known retail and food service customers in the UK – split across thirty-seven single and twelve dual-temperature vehicles.
The operator has additionally welcomed to its fleet nineteen Greencore-liveried rental trailers from Tiger, comprising fifteen single and four dual-temperature variants, the latter equipped with 1.5-tonne Dhollandia tail-lifts with P-gates, 3-way ramps, and a wanderlead for easier and safer operation.
Thomas Stott, Tiger’s Key Account Manager, along with Sales Manager Anna Christie, led the Greencore contract’s close customer collaboration, design and development, which included multiple visits to the two companies’ respective sites.
Adam Chittenden, Network Fleet Manager at Greencore says: “Greencore is proud to award our latest fleet contract to Tiger Trailers. After a competitive bidding process, Tiger stood out for their sharp focus on our needs and their winning mix of innovation, reliability, and sustainability. Their proven durability, low downtime, and responsive support made them the clear choice to help us boost efficiency and reduce disruptions.”
The fridges fitted to the two trailer iterations are Thermo King A400 Advancer single-temp and Thermo King A500 Advancer multi-temp units, and Greencore’s new Tiger trailers sport various eye-catching liveries. Unisto e-Guard Data units are fitted on the rear shutters, and load securing is taken care of by two rows of LoadLok tracks, combined with spring-lock poles.
With the chassis and insulated body supplied by Tiger’s partner in Spain, Lecitrailer, Greencore benefits from a KTL finish, along with comprehensive warranties, for peace of mind.
“It has been a pleasure for Anna and I to work with the Greencore team in designing their new ‘own fleet’ refrigerated trailers in different configurations”, Thomas Stott comments.
Anna Christie adds: “Our temperature-controlled range is a core, rapidly growing focus, so we’re delighted to introduce chilled Tiger products to another high-profile food service operator.”
Adam Chittenden concludes: “This partnership is a key step in future-proofing our fleet and driving greener, smarter logistics. We’re excited for what’s ahead.”
