TRUCKFEST NORTH EAST 2025 AT WOLISINGHAM SHOW GROUND

A Weekend to Remember at the Wolsingham Truck Show – Securing 2nd Place!


This past weekend’s Wolsingham Truck Show was truly unforgettable! With the roar of engines, gleaming paintwork, and a fantastic community of hauliers and enthusiasts, it epitomized everything a truck show should be and then some. For us, it was particularly special. We are thrilled to announce that we claimed 2nd place in the 'Best Kept Single Operator' category!


What Is the Wolsingham Truck Show?


Nestled in the charming town of Wolsingham, County Durham, the truck show stands as one of the premier events in the UK trucking calendar. Ranging from classic rigs to modern custom builds, the show highlights the hard work and pride that drivers and companies pour into their vehicles. It’s not merely about aesthetics, it’s a celebration of the passion that drives the industry.


The atmosphere this year was electric. Families, collectors, and fellow drivers gathered in droves to admire the displays, exchange stories, and immerse themselves in a weekend brimming with engines, exhausts, and enthusiasm.


The Award: Best Kept Single Operator


To even be nominated for the 'Best Kept Single Operator' award is a true privilege. This category honour's the commitment and pride of independent drivers who manage and maintain their vehicles, often dedicating countless hours to ensure they are in peak condition.


Winning 2nd place was a moment of immense pride. It represents more than just a trophy; it acknowledges the hard work that takes place behind the scenes: the polishing, the detailing, the maintenance, and the love for the craft. It’s a testament to what it means to be a true professional on the road.


The Truck That Earned the Accolade


Our truck distinguished itself with its sleek lines, pristine presentation, and the meticulous attention to detail that characterizes a well-loved vehicle. From spotless chrome to impeccable detailing, every inch was show-day ready. Yet, the real story lies in what often goes unnoticed, the long hours, early mornings, and dedication required to keep it looking and performing like new, mile after mile.


Gratitude and Looking Ahead


Thank you to the Wolsingham Truck Show organizers, the judges, and everyone who supported the event. The camaraderie among fellow operators was outstanding, and witnessing so many trucks glistening in the sunshine was a delightful experience.


Winning 2nd place has only ignited our passion to strive for even greater heights. We are already setting our sights on the next show, armed with fresh ideas and polish in hand. Until then, keep on trucking, and keep it clean!

Truckfest North East - Wolsingham After Lincoln Show ended up being a bit of a wash out, it was great to bask in the sunshine at Wolsingham. Last year the dust was insane! It had been so dry on the build-up, that any movement of vehicles created massive dust clouds that settled on to all the trucks making it a nightmare to keep them clean all weekend. With all the rain in the weeks before it meant that the dust wasn’t an issue this year thank god! Don’t get me wrong though, the truck still got cleaned within an inch of its life, dust or no dust. We arrived on Friday lunchtime to make sure to get a good spot with the Mrs, small one and father-in-law in tow. The first round of judging was on Saturday morning which really didn’t give me much time to get the truck polished and up to standard, especially after a few drinks with mates the night before. The second round of judging was Sunday morning, and these guys are TOUGH! Fingers in all my holes and pulling me up on a bird shit that had appeared on the roof overnight. I really felt the pressure this year after bringing out my own range of truck cleaning products, I had to make sure she was even more spotless than usual. All the blood sweat and tears were worth it though…coming first in ‘Best kept Owner Operator’. And in a close second was Gary Armstrong who also used all my own products. In fact, all the trucks around us were using my tire shine, ceramic detailer and trim detailer . It was so nice to have so many people come up and say hello, purchase truck cleaning products and take pictures with her. Thank you all so much and see you again next year!
The tyre shine just looks awesome!
