Dump trucks used in mining and building projects​ Oxford Diecast H C Wilson - 1:76 Scale

The business was started in the early sixties by Mr Hugh Wilson and his wife Mrs Marion Wilson. For the first few years the main activity of the business was agricultural contracting based from a farm in Haughley, Suffolk, using machinery bought using money invested by Hugh's father Donald. This agricultural contracting developed into hay and straw dealing, This then needed transporting to customers, mainly in Wales. The business then had a need for a truck, to transport hay and straw to its customers. Its first, a Bedford O type with a 16ft body, was bought second-hand for £60. On return trips from Wales the Bedford came laden with quarry stone.
In recent years the company has invested heavily in various pieces of equipment including a Nooteboom 8 axle trailer on which our model is based.
