Did anyone one here used to work for Brains ?
Suggest you ask same question in old timers forum. I remember working out of similar places as them around South East & beleive were paid quite well.Ran a lot of 110 &111 scanias late 70`s but thats about all i can help you with. 
cheers matey, i worked there myself, just seeing if any of the old crew on here
yellow scanias 110s..111s…container work …based thurrock …never heard of them… 
however…i did hear that hanbury davis/riverside…is owned by the same boss who owned brains…
The first artic unit I drove in anger was an ex-Brains Reanault R290/310?

hanbury davis/riverside…Didnt that used to be Rusell Davies and not Brains?
hanbury davies / riverside owned by glynn davies ex russell davies. brain haulage was owned by charles & john brain
your probably right…just trying to remember what i`d read on previous posts…
Brains were so badly run and so unprofitable that they were, eventually, run by the bank

Youre thinking of a guy called Larry Kilby who used to be the MD (I think?) of Brains, now a director of Maritime.

Larry was a decent bloke while I worked for Maritime…
