A transport company in Stoke-on-Trent has given a makeover to two of its trucks, in an effort to attract more visitors to the city.
Hanley-based Danny W Poole and Sons has paid for a new livery on two of his trucks showcasing some of the Potteries’ most popular tourist attractions and heritage sites.
Company vehicles will showcase attractions – including the Regent Theater, World of Wedgwood, Trentham Monkey Forest and Middleport Pottery – to new audiences as they travel through Europe, helping to promote the city internationally.

“These are fantastic trailers, which we follow all over the country and, in fact, all over Europe.
“These trailers can be expected to travel over 1,000 kilometers per week. They will be seen throughout Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.”
