Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Dennis Elite Cab..happy to etc...etc. At a time when the newpapers are full of doom and gloom (and stories slagging-off Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear-(don't forget to post you comments for or against on Biglorryblog NOW!) specialist vehicle manufacturer Dennis Eagle www.dennis-eagle.com is clearly bucking the trend. Indeed, the workforce and management at the company's Blackpool RCV cab manufacturing plant recently celebrated the 10,000th Elite 2 refuse collection vehicle cab to roll off the production line.

With a current workforce of 80, Dennis Eagle Blackpool is on target to produce in excess of 900 Elite 2 cabs this year, a figure that has grown steadily since this cab model was first launched back in June 2003. Blackpool is the birthplace of the Elite 2 cab, which was designed to replace the original Elite model first developed by Dennis Eagle in 1992. The 10,000th Elite 2 cab forms part of an order for some 22 new refuse collection vehicles that Dennis Eagle is in the process of building for SITA UK.Now click through here for more...

Speaking to Biglorryblog on behalf of Dennis Eagle Blackpool, a delighted Operations Manager, Bob Young tells me: "As many people know, Blackpool has a long and rich heritage when it comes to vehicle bodybuilding and we are delighted to be continuing this trend. The manufacturing facility that we operate is world class and the success of what is a specialist vehicle cab bears testimony to this fact. We have an outstanding team of highly experienced and skilled individuals here in Blackpool, and we are all extremely proud of our latest achievement." he adds. Now click through here for more...
