Company History

DWT founder, David Wilson, has spent a lifetime in the motor industry.

As children, David Wilson and brother Tony loved the excitement of the brand new cars in their grandfather’s South London showroom. Both followed their father into the family firm on leaving school.

David started work on the shop floor, selling the day’s leading brands, Austin, Morris, MG, Lotus and Triumph, to name but a few. His father, Leslie, then invested in the leisure boom of the late 1950s.

Over the next few years the family firm became one of the top UK suppliers of motor caravans, with branches in Castle Donington, Bradford, Epsom and Brixton.

Armed with the experience to set out on his own, David established a trailer business in the late 1970s.

The information highway opens

By 1984, David recognised a new strand developing in the trailer market – the use of units to take information out to the people.

DWT was tasked with helping to spread the word on the proposed Channel Tunnel, using an exhibition trailer to show train routes and development schedules throughout the Kent villages.
A similar exercise followed a few months later, when BP took over the operation of the Wytch Farm oilfields in Dorset.

A year-long roadshow was operated by DWT on the international company’s behalf, taking information to local people.

Central location

As the exhibition business developed, DWT, which had grown up in East Sussex, needed a location which was more cost-effective for clients.

This would allow its specialised crews to deliver and set up exhibition trailers for clients in a single day.
In 2005 a new operating centre was launched just off the A1 near Colsterworth in Lincolnshire.

The 125-mile driving radius – which allows the DWT crew time to set up on arrival – now covers the entire East of England, extends south to Essex and encompassing Greater London, to Bristol, Bath and the Welsh borders in the west, and to Manchester and Yorkshire in the north.

Today DWT has an active client based totalling more than 2,000, and also supplies trailers throughout the UK, Europe, Scandinavia and beyond, whether for one-off events or as part of a roadshow schedule.
