As we continue to mark the 65th anniversary of Minoli in 2025, our very good friends at Road Race Rally created a unique piece of artwork that recognises the part that the Minoli distribution fleet has played in the success of the company.
The artwork created by Joe Coade and the team at RRR showcases a most amazing image of M1 NOL, which is a 26t DAF Truck and the fourth vehicle to carry the coveted registration plate as the Minoli flagship delivery vehicle.
We were so delighted with the original piece that we decided to commission further copies to present to others that have helped establish and grow the Minoli truck fleet over the years, such as the team at DAF Trucks.
On Wednesday 30th April, Jonathon Minoli visited the HTC Oxford facility in Kidlington, Oxfordshire to present one of the limited edition artworks to Luke Mason, Managing Director of HTC Group and his team. We were also delighted to bring along the DAF Truck that stars in the artwork, M1 NOL, to be on site for the occasion.
In a relationship that spans several decades, Minoli sources all our trucks from HTC Group and DAF to meet our requirements for reliable, robust vehicles that have been purpose-built to the company’s exacting and often changing needs. With over 38 years of experience, HTC Group has developed expertise in sales, finance, and service, placing customer satisfaction at the forefront of their operations.
Registration number M1 NOL is a DAF CF Series 340, 26 tonne Curtain Sided Rigid with Moffett forklift and, given how frequently this vehicle will be delivering into central London, a lift and steer tag axle was also fitted. This state-of-the-art truck allows us to carry increased tonnage and to unload safely and efficiently greater volumes of tiles and extra-large slabs, more conveniently at our clients’ sites.
The Minoli fleet now comprises 11 DAF Trucks, 3 Fiat Ducato Vans and a further 5 support vehicles, that give a daily delivery capacity in excess of 100,000 KGs, all on vehicles specifically designed to meet our needs and those of our clients.
Our sincere thanks to the team at HTC led by Managing Director Luke Mason and Chairman Colin Montgomery, as well as the dedicated staff within the service and support departments that keep the Minoli fleet on the road.
