Cheshire Contracting is a family-run business operating from picturesque Cheshire in the United Kingdom. At the forefront of the team are parents Annette and Richard, their sons James and Adam and James’s girlfriend Jenna, along with their dogs, Boo, Barney and Mouse.
The company specialises in the transportation of non-standard machinery, boasting a fleet of dedicated trailers modified and enhanced to handle abnormal delicate loads; machines with excessive heights and high value that are prone to damage.
The family show immense pride in their business and for James and Richard the preference for Scania over any other brand is evident. The functionality and technical elements of the vehicle, alongside the guarantee of reliability and comfort that comes with Scania trucks makes them the clear choice, reflecting the values of excellence and trust that define Cheshire Contracting.
Richard highlights the company’s journey towards acquiring Scania vehicles and enhancing their fleet since its establishment over 20 years ago. Meanwhile, Annette emphasises the significance of Scania for recruitment purposes, highlighting the allure of premium comfort and reliability offered by Scania trucks.
“It has become evident over the years that our drivers like the superior driving experience offered by Scania trucks and enjoy being part of the Scania family lifestyle.”

In their free time, the Laycock family enjoy spending time in the countryside from skiing to camping and walking holidays. Richard, James, and Adam have a passion for Enduro Riding—a thrilling off-road motorcycle racing sport that challenges riders across diverse terrains and lengthy courses. Their love for this adrenaline-fueled activity dates back to James and Adam’s childhood, when they received their first bikes at ages 6 and 8. So ingrained is this passion that even Cheshire Contracting's corporate gatherings revolve around the exhilarating world of Enduro Riding!
In complete contrast James' girlfriend Jenna prefers a more serene approach to relaxation, with a keen interest in teaching and practising Yoga. Meanwhile, Annette enjoys creating art and tending to their small flock of sheep.
This diverse range of outdoor pursuits speaks volumes about the family's deep-rooted connection to nature and adventure.
The Laycock family looks for products offering value for money, that are versatile enough to accommodate their diverse range of pursuits. James references the significance of wearing his Scania Navy Truck Jacket for work, noting how it serves as a powerful statement to their customers of premium quality and service.
When asked to pick their favourite items from the new range the whole family agreed that the style, quality and comfort of the T-Shirts and Hoodies has made them a firm favourite for both work and leisure. Another standout piece, favoured by Jenna, is the Women’s Bear Fleece; the perfect layer for walking Boo and Barney!
