KTwo is in administration but that encompasses Warwick Trailers so both
I’ll give it to you Ashley on a personal level I applaud you for coming in to the lions den so to speak and voicing some truth on to the speculation. Especially as your just a sales man who’s worked there 6 months ish you’ve put your self in to a situation the directors didn’t want to.
On a Buisness level I hope you find employment with another company and continue to grow and put this behind you.

Thank you, very much appreciated. To be honest i have thoroughly enjoyed the job and certainly do not want to be having to look elsewhere! my first LAMMA stand experience was fantastic and I have met some amazing people travelling all over.

I hope my dream of seeing maize season in full flow and some compact & push trailers working can happen!

Just remember there are plenty of other manufacturers and other sales jobs going 😬 up to you if you stay put with the *potential* new owners of ktwo or not.

I can’t decide if a push trailer would look better in Stewart blue, Bailey green or Richard western yellow 😉

He comes over as more than "just" a salesman and to his credit

Must feel strange seeing random virtual strangers with wild rumours and theories

Was that Chris Jones (Derek Warwick Son In Law) still involved in the new Warwick Trailers venture or did he stay just with Cee Jay Systems?

He stayed as CJ and the management of Warwick was turnt over to ktwo I believe
Looks like he moved from business Alresford to Southampton and it's now a shell trading name and part of Roger Dyson. Filing history on Companies House shows no current directors

I think ours looks fine in K2 red and grey. Ours is in its 8th season of carting muck, let’s us use old cattle sheds as muck stores, really good trailer, have had to respray the inside but there’s not much that can put up with a constant diet of chicken muck, maybe they should make them out of aluminium?!

My dad always says it's a wonder they don't make some agricultural trailers of aluminium. Yes, they would be a pretty penny but everybody is busy carting further and further and putting big tyres on to keep them afloat, you'd think it would be a no brainer for boys using them day in, day out.

Some people have a weird obsession about how much a trailer weighs rather than how it's made though.

Payload (legal) would be increased too (if ever that was a consideration as possible enforcement actions may become a thing in the future)

Too soft, harder to weld, etc. Bad material choice for the application

Anyone ever tried a plastic lined one? Like steel frame with plenty of supports, lined with stockboard type material?

Wouldn't stand up to the odd load of hard-core and trees that they get subject to I suppose.
