CTS Hire, a division of Northampton based contract hire and fleet management company Specialist Fleet Services Ltd (SFS), is showcasing a vehicle from its new food waste hire fleet at an event hosted by The Procurement Partnership Ltd (TPPL) in Northampton on Wednesday 19 June.

The TPPL Food Waste Vehicle Supplier Engagement Day is being held at Franklin’s Gardens, the home of newly crowned Premiership Rugby Union Champions Northampton Saints.  With the ground within sight of the SFS Head Office, the event has been organised to bring together suppliers and members prior to the introduction of new government legislation, which is due to come into effect in 2026 and requires all households to separate food waste from general waste. As a result, local authorities will have to purchase, or hire, specialist food waste collection vehicles.

Pete Vickers, Business Development Manager – South East, TPPL:

“This new legislation will have a significant impact on local authority fleet operations.  We’ve had unprecedented interest from our members and the event is full.  We hope that by bringing together all the suppliers in one location we can help to save our members time, as they can have meetings and demonstrations with all the suppliers individually.”

Exhibitors attending the event include Faun Zoeller, Terberg Matec, Dennis Eagle, Hillend Engineering, Trest, Macpac, NTM, Addex, Isuzu Truck as well as CTS Hire. There will also be presentations by TPPL on its framework solutions and food waste vehicle tenders.

Bob Sweetland, Managing Director, SFS:

“We are delighted to be supporting this key strategic event on our doorstep and to showcase a vehicle from our new hire fleet of food waste vehicles available from CTS. We have great relationships with all the suppliers, and we look forward to speaking to delegates about the benefits of contract hire as a solution for their food waste collection fleets.”

SFS celebrated its 30-year anniversary in 2023 and has an extensive track record in delivering fleet and workshop management solutions to local authorities across the UK. The company runs a nationwide network of workshops and operates its own specialist vehicle hire division, CTS Hire, for the provision of short to medium term municipal vehicles.
