Jeremy Hook was Case-Poclain's head office, main workshop, stores and distribution centre for the UK, though there were depots at Halesowen, Leeds, Bolton(?) and Glasgow that I remember.

Re: Classic Concrete Mixers
I'm a bit (!) late to this one - I did my apprenticeship as a truck fitter with RMC (Thames Valley) Ltd in the 1970's - all our mixers were built in-house at Slough, final PDI was done in the Group transport workshops at Farnborough before being sent out to the regional workshops for handover.

Re: Classic pictures Updated 17/06/2012
Tim yes, that was HOT 45X's predecessor, though the same trailer! HOT 45 was also the first truck on the fleet to have an in-cab telephone - in 1981!

Forgot to say, I gather Hazelwoods went bust some time soon after I left in the mid 80's, Dave went to the USA, don't know what happened to his partner Wyndham Curtis though.
