Hilux fulfils two roles at W.H. Bond & Sons. Many are used as company vehicles for members of staff, while the remainder form part of a £10 million hire fleet alongside excavators, telehandlers, dumpers and rollers.
The company was established in 1957, as a family farming business and has since developed into a one-stop shop for construction and agricultural services, with more than 100 employees. The company’s current areas of expertise include plant hire and machinery, timber sales, civil engineering and agriculture and training.
The milestone 100th Hilux was handed over to the firm at its headquarters near Saltash by Ian Pollard of Parklands Toyota Truro, which supplied the vehicle.
Commenting on the continued partnership with Hilux, Andy Pearce, W.H. Bond’s business development manager, said: ‘Since our first Hilux, there has been no reason not to continue with this model. It’s faultlessly reliable, has excellent re-sale values and is well specified. Toyota continues to do exactly what we require.’
