I see on a social media website that Gibbs of Fraserburgh are back on the road.
The vehicle they have is a 16 plate Volvo artic.
Great news to see a well respected company like this back on road , all the very best to you.
Hi lawrence 2765, that’s good to see, some here from the late Ronnie Cameron’s collection, Ronnie, apart from taking photos also built his collection from photos bought, sent to him or entrusted to him from hauliers and family history albums.
If anyone wishes to dispute or claim ownership of any of the following, it/they can quickly be removed.

Back in the beginning.

I read an article about the return of Gibb’s month or so ago. It was refreshing to understand that they ceased trading whilst solvent, but had seen the trading environment deteriorating, in taking that painful step to shut the firm, they did so without owing anyone anything. That kind of integrity is so lacking in much of the so blue chip companies listed on the stock market.
It’s fantastic that such a great name is back in business, best of luck to the family who are literally back in the driving seat.
recently i have seen photo of a daf spacecab whitch has been added 2 there fleet .

That’s the best dressed DAF I’ve seen, (apart from those in the blue and yellow of Frans Maas, but that is just being sentimental)

I`d say this old girl seen some miles!
I think the Gibbs livery through the years has always been top class.

in general terms then the answer is no.
shellfish,and more recently drug crimes and foreigners committing thefts and fraud is about all that pops up.
theres nothing up there apart from the harbour and associated fish related businesses.
the only two that spring to mind are gibbs and h.b. fash.
