MJ Church, one of Britain’s biggest Hilux customers, recently took delivery of its 60th vehicle in just two years.

The civil engineering, earthworks and waste management contracting company, based in Chippenham, operates a pick- up fleet made up entirely of Hilux, with a range of Active and Icon grades. Staff rely on the models’ reliability and capability to meet a wide range of business demands, often in arduous site conditions.

Explains Tom Church, Company Director, “We’ve used other manufacturers’ pick-ups in the past but have come up against a number of reliability issues. We chose Hilux instead as they have a great reputation within our industry. They also have good whole-life costs, while still ticking all of the boxes for the requirements of our business.”
