CHRIS HODGE TRUCKS

ESTABLISHED 1982

USED COMMERCIAL TRUCKS FOR SALE IN THE UK

Chris Hodge Commercials Limited is a family firm with an enviable reputation for supplying high-quality commercial trucks and trailers. Incorporated in 1982, CHC is well known throughout the road transport industry both in the UK and abroad. Yet despite having grown to become one of the largest independent user truck dealers in the county it remains very much a family-run and family-owned business, with real family values.

The Hodge family has been involved in transport throughout the 20th century – in fact since the days of horses and carts. Based in Greenwich, Allan and Julian Hodge (Chris’s father and brother) taking care of sales and operations. Today the business is run by Chris Hodge whose Grandfather Reg Hodge originally operated a series of transport companies in the 1940s, 50s and 60s from coal haulage and storage to passenger coach operations.

In 1992 the company moved to its current custom-built premises, and today has some 4,000 active customers ranging from single-vehicle owner-drivers to multi-national PLCs with all sizes and types of companies in-between! We supply vehicles throughout the world, and pride ourselves on being able to deliver the right truck for the job – whatever (and wherever) that job is, everytime. So whatever your interest in the world of commercial vehicles – from buying and selling trucks and vans to haulage history or truck racing, we’re here to help you.
