Ast Transport Branding has undergone a £2.7 million investment programme and unveiled a new service, an enhanced team and 21,000 sq ft headquarters.

One of the fleet branding industry’s best kept secrets, Ast Transport Branding, which operates throughout the UK, has built up a list of loyal, longstanding clients over its 13 years, including Royal Mail, Tesco, NHS, Stobart Group, Muller Wiseman Dairies, Kellogg’s, Yodel, HSS Hire and Speedy Hire.

The multi-million pound investment programme, which has been 18 months in the making, has enabled the company to offer an enhanced online ordering service for Chapter 8 vehicle safety livery, additions to its staff and a new purpose built HQ, equipped with the latest technology and machinery.

A specialist in vehicle wrapping, Ast Transport Branding has a proven background in vehicle graphics, commercial signage and corporate branding and has rebranded many thousands of vehicles over the last decade.

It has a network of approved partners located throughout the UK so can offer a fitting service anywhere in the country, minimising vehicle downtime and it also boasts one of the biggest in-house design teams in the industry.

Now, as well as its online repair system that helps businesses manage the costs and lead times of vehicle graphics repairs, it also offers a specialist division dedicated to vehicle safety livery and Chapter 8 compliance allowing businesses to order their Chapter 8 livery and accessories online with just the click of a mouse.

Ast Transport Branding’s new headquarters is in Penrith and the company has premises for fitting and consultations in Warrington, Cheshire, Glasgow, Bracknell, Dagenham and London. It offers an extensive range of branding services nationally, now employs 55 full time staff and its turnover grew by over 40% last year.
