Auto Styling Truckman, the Black Country supplier of 4x4 accessories, has won an order from an unnamed Ford dealer to supply the Ministry of Defence with more than 100 high-roof hard-tops for its fleet of pick-up trucks, which are used for a wide range of tasks at military bases across the UK. Adding Auto Styling Truckman’s hard-tops increases the flexibility and security of the vehicles.

Mike Wheeler, managing director of the Brierley Hill company, said: “We are very proud to be part of the MoD’s UK supply chain; it is great to know that our products meet the exacting standards of the British military. I believe this is a strong endorsement of our commitment to developing UK manufacturing skills.”
