TDUK, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Freight Transport Association (FTA), has announced that it has acquired the business and certain assets of Warrington-based Tachodisc.

TDUK takes control of the business and certain assets with immediate effect and FTA’s director of operations, June Powell, will oversee the business. Staff and customers of Tachodisc, which specialises in the compliance of tachograph rules and laws, are being informed of the new arrangements after the company went into administration this week.

David Wells, FTA chief executive, said: “The business fits well with FTA’s current services and operation. This acquisition will help ensure the industry remains compliant.”
