Fraikin meats trade butcher Fairfax Meadow’s demand for 43 new vehicles

The BVRLA welcomed more than 100 new members in 2015, taking its total to 780.

Fraikin has opened a 24/7 service support centre at its Coventry headquarters, underlining its renewed emphasis on bringing maintenance and breakdown support inhouse.

While Fraikin doesn’t replace its MDs quite as often as West Brom replaces its managers – seven in the last five years – Darren Hall is the third person to take charge of the French-owned contract hire firm since 2016.
