Life begins at 30 for Ferryman

Gwent-based Ferryman celebrates its 30^th birthday this year, and has bought a silver limited edition Mercedes tractor in a celebratory wrap. The vehicle is one of only 35 in the UK.

Alys Hamar-Davies, social media manager at Ferryman says: “This is not just a celebration of our company, but of all the people who have helped us get here. Our team members, our customers, our suppliers and our fantastic fellow TPN depots.

Later this year, lockdown allowing, some of the Ferryman team are will abseil down the 80 feet tall Dragon Drop, in the Breacon Beacons, for Tenovus Cancer Care. The charity is special to the team, and Ferryman hopes to continue supporting it throughout 2021.

There have also been health benefits for the team. “There is a weight limit for the abseil, so it has been an incentive for some of our drivers to get fitter and shed a few post-Christmas pounds,” says Alys.

You can follow Ferryman’s birthday celebrations and fundraising efforts through the company’s twitter feed, or by following vlogging driver Jenko who will showcase the abseil and the special edition vehicle.
