introduction Section Heading Tiger Tracks 2018 Time flies when you’re having fun! The past four years have flown by here at Tiger. It doesn’t seem that long ago since our first trailers rolled off the production line from our factory in Winsford, Cheshire. Fast forward to 2018 where more than 4,000 Tiger products are now operating across the UK and mainland Europe. Having increased our market share throughout 2017, we have enjoyed significant growth and continue to supply an expanding and diverse customer base. From own-account operators, to global logistics, retail and parcel corporations, the Tiger brand has been firmly established within the market place. 2018 is set to be an exciting year for us with new product developments and the move into our new, purpose-built factory at the end of the year. The new facility has been designed for future growth and in its first stage will give us the ability to double our existing capacity. The new factory will provide everyone at Tiger with a superb working environment, maintaining all manufacturing under one roof, just as we do today. Plus, it will give us the platform to continue building on our fresh approach, offering a unique customer experience and becoming a destination for design excellence and expertise in our industry. We would like to thank the whole Tiger Trailers team, as well as our customers, suppliers and partners, for their continued support. These are really exciting times for the company and we look forward to sharing them with you. John and Steven Cartwright Joint Managing Directors 4 5
