Econ Engineering of Ripon supplies gritters to Marlborough

Econ Engineering supplies 85 per cent of the UK’s gritters, instantly recognisable for their iconic yellow bodies.

However, Term Maintenance Contractor Marlborough requested bright red to emphasise its ‘we are bold’ values.

The new gritters will support winter service deliver across Havering and Southend, with further vehicles to follow for the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead ahead of next season.

The four new red gritters are named Snowflake, Snowblast, Snowsafe and Snowflare, following a local competition.

Steve Sinnott, Econ Sales Director, said: ““While Econ is famous for its iconic yellow gritters, we’ve genuinely loved working with Marlborough Highways to bring these striking red vehicles to life.

“They perfectly reflect Marlborough’s bold identity, and we’re proud to support them with equipment, technology and aftercare that will perform reliably throughout the winter season and beyond.”

Matt Hoiles, Head of Transport & Plant, Marlborough Highways, said: “We’re proud to see these new gritters join our fleet as we head into the winter season. They reflect our commitment to investing in high-quality, reliable equipment that supports our teams to deliver for our clients and communities.”
