ERF finally moved out of Sandbach for good last weekend as a procession of trucks signalled the beginning of a new era for the company.

Hundreds of people lined the streets as the cavalcade of trucks made their way from the old site on Middlewich Road, Sandbach to ERF's new £28 million facility in Middlewich.

The 125 trucks took around one hour to complete the seven mile journey to the Midpoint Industrial Estate in Middlewich.

The vehicles participating in the event represent more than 96,000 trucks that have been produced at the Sandbach plant since 1933.
