Benton Brothers Celebrates Centenary Anniversary Fitting Brigade’s Blind Spot Solutions
 |
Benton Brothers Driver, Gary Butler, said: “When sat in traffic or on a slip road, you can see cars on the monitor before you can see them in the mirrors. It gives a wider view than the curb mirrors and is useful on roundabouts or tight corners. I do use the monitor regularly and with the mirrors as well you have the best of both worlds and that extra peace of mind.”

The celebration truck pays tribute to John William Benton, the founder of Benton’s in 1908. Benton’s was incorporated in 1954 by his three sons Bill, Ted and George. One hundred years later grandson and Chairman, Martin Benton, oversees operations at the original site in Sibsey, near Boston in Lincolnshire and now also Immingham.
With a fleet of 150 vehicles all capable of carrying freight carriage at 44 tonnes and average annual mileage of 86000 miles, Benton Brothers Transport makes health and safety legislation first priority. Already fitting the latest mobile technology, satellite tracking, replacing vehicles every five years and employing highly efficient trained drivers, the new camera – monitor system will further increase safety. Brigade’s system increases the driver’s field of vision in areas that were previously a blind spot, providing other road users with improved safety.
