About this product

Product Information

The Dennis company has been building vehicles since 1895, making it the oldest continuously producing British manufacturer. From its origins in a small Guildford shop, the company has grown to become a major bus manufacturer with its products selling around the world. This book discusses the company's highs and lows, through two world wars, challenging markets and ownership changes. It documents the vehicles produced and their innovative design features, from early cars and street-cleaning machines to vans, buses, trucks, fire engines and ambulances. First-hand descriptions of how, and why, some of the company's most successful products such as the Dart, Trident and Enviro buses evolved. It explains why their once market-leading fire engines are no longer made. It also analyses the reasons why some products were less successful and explores what happened to parts of the company that were sold over the years. Finally, the company's future opportunities and challenges are considered. The author, Andy Goundry, has not only drawn on his own personal experience of almost twenty years of employment with the company but he has drawn on what is left of the company archives, private collections and first-hand accounts, to produce this book as a salutation of over 125 years of continuous manufacturing. AUTHOR: Andy Goundry has been involved in vehicle design, development and manufacture all his working career. Originally from County Durham, he started his automotive career through a Student Apprenticeship with the British Motor Corporation at Longbridge. He then moved to the British Leyland Truck & Bus headquarters, where he had a close involvement in bringing the T45 Roadtrain, Cruiser and Constructor truck ranges into production. After working for Vickers, David Brown and Caterpillar, Andy joined what was then Dennis Specialist Vehicles (which later became Alexander Dennis Ltd) in Guildford in 1995, initially as Engineering Manager, eventually becoming Plant Director of the Guildford chassis business before retiring in 2011. 128 colour and 121 b/w photographs

I was checking out audiobooks by Tara Moss on eBay & this one was at the best price. I thought I hadn't heard it, so I bought. Very quick processing by Seller, arrived on time, packaged well, sealed, new, BUT I found I already had it, but hadn't listened to it. It was my fault, considered returning it, & it was made easy thru' eBay & I was able to return it to seller. A seller with great items who was very accommodating, thank you for understanding.
