In an era where logistics and transport are the lifeblood of our economy, a secure truck stop is more than just a convenience—it’s a necessity. At William Gilder Group (WGG), we recognise the indispensable role of HGV drivers in keeping our nation’s shelves stocked and our economy moving. That’s why we are proud to present our secure truck stop at Teddington Hands, designed with drivers’ needs at its core.
The importance of road transport cannot be overstated. According to the Road Haulage Association, 98% of all food and agricultural products in the UK are transported by road. This crucial sector ensures that our shops are stocked with essentials, from fresh produce to daily groceries. The recent challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic have further underscored the vital role of haulage, highlighting how dependent we are on these unsung heroes of the road.
Yet, despite their critical importance, HGV drivers often face the challenge of inadequate rest facilities and secure parking options. This is where our Teddington Hands truck stop comes into play. With our extensive experience and commitment to the haulage industry, William Gilder Group has embarked on a mission to address these issues directly. Our goal is to offer a safe, well-equipped haven for drivers travelling through Gloucestershire.
Our secure truck stop at Teddington Hands boasts a range of facilities tailored to meet the needs of our drivers. The site accommodates up to 150 vehicles, ensuring ample space for all. We offer modern washroom and shower facilities for both men and women, along with our on-site café, The Hut, where drivers can enjoy a hearty meal. Additionally, we are developing further amenities, including a laundrette and truck washing facilities. Refuelling is also available right on site, eliminating the need for drivers to go elsewhere.
Safety and security are paramount at our truck stop. The site is equipped with 24-hour CCTV and security patrols, including barrier entry, to ensure that both drivers and their loads are protected. As an accredited SNAP parking site, we provide an extra layer of assurance that drivers can rest easy, knowing their vehicles and cargo are safe while they take some well-deserved time for themselves.
At William Gilder Group, we understand that a secure truck stop is more than just a place to park—it’s a vital part of supporting the hardworking individuals who keep our country moving. Our secure truck stop at Teddington Hands is our commitment to enhancing the quality of life for HGV drivers and recognising their crucial role in our economy.
In summary, a secure truck stop at Teddington Hands is not just a stopover; it’s a testament to our dedication to the haulage industry and the wellbeing of its drivers.
