Leyland Trucks

Earlier this month, all staff received a DAF summer towel – and now as we're gearing up for the Leyland Summer Plant Shutdown, it's time to see how far the towels travel! ☀️🏖️

Will your towel be soaking up the sun in your garden, lounging by the pool, relaxing on a sandy beach or jet-setting to somewhere exotic? 🌍✈️

📸 Post a photo in the comments – or tag us in a photo - and show us where your towel is spending a well-deserved break. Let's see how far the DAF Summer Tour can travel! ☀️😎🌴

LOST PROPERTY APPEAL – OWNER WANTED! 🐰
Following our Family Fun Day, this little pink bunny was found all alone on the field and handed into Lost Property.

While it's enjoyed a well-earned rest after a fun-filled day, it's now hoping to be reunited with its owner. 💗

So far, nobody has come forward to claim this floppy-eared friend. Do you recognise this pink bunny? If so, please get in touch with us so we can arrange a reunion 😊

We also have a pair of small pair of shoes, a water bottle and a pink baseball cap keeping our bunny company in lost property - send us a message if you think they could belong to your family.

Today, as part of our health and wellbeing program, we’re busy running our annual PSA testing onsite for our staff.

❓A PSA test is a simple blood test that measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your bloodstream - an elevated level could be a sign of prostate cancer. Early detection can be key.

📆 Got an appointment later today? Feel free to come along to site earlier and you’ll be seen - freeing up your afternoon.
