Then vs now.

As Charles Trent celebrates 100 years in business, it's incredible to look back at how far vehicle recycling has come.

From dismantling vehicles in the late 1980s to today's purpose-built facilities, advanced equipment and streamlined processes, the industry has transformed enormously. While the way we work has evolved over the decades, one thing has remained the same... our commitment to recovering quality parts and giving vehicles a second life.

Here's to 100 years of innovation, evolution and looking ahead to what's next.

As part of our 100 Years of Giving initiative, we are proud to announce that our July £1,000 donation has been awarded to Age UK North, South & West Dorset

The charity was nominated by a member of Team Trent who has a personal connection to its work, making this month’s donation particularly meaningful to us.

Age UK North, South & West Dorset provides vital services for older people and their carers across our local community, with specialist support available for people living with dementia. From dementia awareness training and support in the home to social groups, activities and practical guidance, its team works tirelessly to help older people remain connected, supported and independent.

As we celebrate 100 years of Charles Trent, we are proud to give back to organisations making a genuine difference in the communities around us. We hope our donation will help Age UK North, South & West Dorset continue providing its invaluable support to older people, families and carers across Dorset.
