The company, a subsidiary of Spanish owned waste management business Urbaser SA, will be carrying out collections on behalf of Gosport Borough Council and has enlisted the help of SFS and Dennis Eagle to meet their RCV requirements

The vehicles will be used to carry out comingled recycling, with residutal waste collected fortnightly from households in and around Gosport.

They appointed contract hire company SFS, which approached Dennis Eagle to supply seven RCVs. The vehicles comprise five narrow and two standard Olympus bodies fitted with Terberg split bin lifts and mounted on Elite 2 rear steer chassis.

Richard Taylor, Sales and Marketing Director at Dennis Eagle, said: "This is a significant contract success for us on a number of levels notably that Urbaser, which has strong links with our parent company Ros Roca, has chosen our vehicles to spearhead its launch into the UK marketplace. This is the first time that Dennis Eagle vehicles will operate in Gosport, and we are pleased that SFS have chosen us as their supplier. Our two companies have a long history of working together and this will help to cement our relationship further."

Bob Sweetland, Managing Director at SFS, said: "Urbaser wanted vehicles which would be efficient, reliable and represent good value for money. We chose Dennis Eagle as they provided us with the ideal solution to the brief Urbaser had set. In addition, we have worked with Dennis Eagle for many years and have always been impressed with their professionalism."
