About Us

The GRP Group has a long and successful history, specialising in the manufacture of refrigerated transport solutions since our formation in 1973. The company was originally established by Don Rastrick and under his stewardship the business developed in to the UKs foremost manufacturer of temperature controlled vehicles.

In 2010 Don Rastrick officially retired and a new management team, led by Duncan Read, took over the reins. Since taking over the business, the management team has injected new funds, thereby allowing significant recent investment in production methods and the development of new associated products.

The prime manufacturing facility has always been based at Springfield works in Leeds, the site of company headquarters, and the recent investment in plant and machinery demonstrates our ongoing commitment to our local, loyal workforce.

Engaging a permanent workforce of over 30, GRP Group has the size and resource to provide specific tailored training, along with personal development opportunities. This corporate ethos has created a multi-skilled team, with long-service, commitment and accountability at our core.

We now have an exciting blend of dynamic management and time served experienced employees, uniquely positioned to take the business in to its next growth phase.
