Kieran Binns
Kieran is tasked with keeping you lot entertained, safe and skint. He also looks after the technical stuff.
He is also the famous truck show Auctioneer!
A HGV driver from the age of 21 – Kieran worked his way up in the world – literally! – to operating truck mounted access platforms over 100m in the air!
He now instructs on the same type of equipment and tries to keep his feet on the ground.
Say Hello! but dont nod! otherwise you’ve bought it!
Graham Poole
Graham has been a show sponsor, and huge supporter of the show from the outset. Having a fleet of vehicles under his name, they are a frequent sight in Rochdale where Graham continues to express his infinite generosity.
Graham has a top shelf of impressive vehicles dedicated to good causes such as ‘The Great War’, ‘The Battle Of Hastings’ and the ever popular ‘All For Kelly’, but the Jewel in the crown has to be his beloved ‘Fistful Of Dollars’ themed Western Star.
Steve ‘Sandell’
Sandell is a…. ahem.. Sandell….well, he’s just Sandell. When his meteor crashed to Earth and his naked little body was found by two farmers, they took him in and he became the Superhero we all know and love.
Recently Sandell was starstruck when he met a real life Clown. It’s the first time we’ve had to issue someone with a cattle prod to keep him at bay.
Rumour has it Sandell has a few friends on something called social media? We’re yet to be convinced…..
Dave Whitehead
Another huge show sponsor, top team member and the instigator of the Rascal Road Trip of 2022. Dave’s constant unpredictability keeps everyone on their toes most of the time – the Rascal being a fine example.
Dave is around more tractors than trucks, and WDF are masters of road planings as well as demolition. Dave is actually only 21, but he’s just endured a week in the Rascal with Sandell from Land’s End to John O Groats…
Hayley Threlfall
Hayley is the better half of Team Kendrew. She takes charge of many organisational tasks including Truck Entries, Judging Admin and Trader Stalls.
Hayley’s interests include beer, keeping Mark in check, and spending as much time in Benidorm as possible!
Lance Bromley
At a good 6ft 4in, Lance isn’t one to miss. Naturally a man of this altitude is into his Rugby, and an avid fan of Sale Sharks.
Lance brings HTF Transport to the table as a show sponsor, and over the years they have upgraded aspects of the shows entertainment with the big screen and PA, and the HIAB Challenge. Lance is also the mastermind of the show plan.
Lance runs HTF with his dad, Dave, and they can often be seen together on the show ground like a true father and son team.
Mark Kendrew
Mark ‘Kendrew’ is a sponsor of the show, and runs a fleet of trucks in the scrap industry. His impressive collection include themed Scanias such as ‘Silver Surfer’ and the ever impressive ‘Death Race’.
Kendrew leads the judging over the show days – a job nobody envies! and it’s down to his, and his selected panel’s expertise to decide which of your amazing vehicles goes home with an award. NOT an easy task.
Swittas Lion
Swittas Lion is the Pride of the Team…. see what I did there? The unofficial boyfriend of the Girl Torque Coo – our Swittas Lion is the symbol of the show.
Last seen being chased across Haydock Racecourse by Graham Poole’s bear of a dog ‘Tyson’ …..
YOU!
We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again.
Without you, we would be just a bunch of folk in a car park…that’s the truth.
This show has always been put together by drivers, FOR drivers.
All we ask of you, is to return year on year, and continue to help make our truck show the biggest charity truck show in the country!
