A Safe and Convenient Base for Britain’s Hauliers

Gloucestershire has long been a key logistics hub — perfectly positioned between the Midlands, South West, and South Wales, and within easy reach of the M5, M50, and A40. For haulage operators and independent drivers, reliable facilities along these routes aren’t just a convenience; they’re essential to smooth, compliant, and secure operations.

At William Gilder Group, we understand the daily pressures of road transport. That’s why our secure storage and truckstop facilities near Teddington and Cheltenham are designed around the real needs of haulage drivers — providing a safe, well-lit, and fully serviced environment to rest, refuel, and reload.

Why Secure Facilities Matter for Haulage Drivers

The haulage industry runs on precision and reliability. Every stop on a driver’s route must balance rest requirements, vehicle security, and operational efficiency. Unfortunately, rising cargo theft and unauthorised access incidents across the UK have made secure overnight parking a growing concern.

According to NaVCIS Freight, losses from cargo theft in the UK exceeded £60 million in 2024, with lorry park break-ins and fuel thefts among the most common offences. Many incidents occur when vehicles are parked in unmonitored lay-bys or industrial estates lacking lighting or CCTV coverage.

WGG’s secure truckstop and storage site in Gloucestershire directly addresses these risks. Our site offers:

  • 24/7 monitored access control with gated entry and CCTV coverage

  • Well-lit hardstanding areas suitable for HGVs, trailers, and tankers

  • Driver welfare amenities, including toilets, showers, and access to refreshments

  • Fuel card refuelling, including Keyfuels compatibility

  • Proximity to major routes — just minutes from the M5 (Junction 9)

With these features, drivers can rest confidently knowing that their vehicle, load, and personal safety are protected.

Supporting Driver Welfare and Compliance

Under UK and EU legislation, drivers must take prescribed breaks and rest periods under the Working Time Directive. But finding a safe and suitable stop can be difficult, especially for long-distance hauliers covering unfamiliar regions.

Our Gloucestershire truckstop provides a compliant and comfortable solution, allowing drivers to take statutory rest periods in a secure environment. In addition to CCTV-protected parking, facilities include:

  • Clean shower and washrooms

  • Wi-Fi access and rest area

  • Designated zones for night stops and day parking

We also accommodate fleet operators who require regular overnight stops for regional delivery runs or tankering operations. Flexible booking options make it easy to reserve spaces for single nights or longer-term parking agreements.

Flexible Storage Solutions for Haulage and Logistics

Beyond driver parking, WGG provides secure and flexible storage units at our Teddington site — ideal for logistics companies, contractors, and self-employed drivers needing extra space near Cheltenham or Tewkesbury.

Our storage units in Gloucestershire are built with security and convenience in mind:

  • Lockable steel containers with easy ground-level access

  • 24-hour gated site access

  • Options for short-term or long-term rental

  • Ideal for tools, spare parts, or non-hazardous goods storage

For haulage businesses, this combination of secure storage and on-site truck facilities creates a single, efficient base of operations. Fleet operators can store equipment, park vehicles, and access maintenance services — all within one well-connected location.

Ideal Location for Regional and National Logistics

Located at Teddington Hands, near Cheltenham, our site sits at a natural crossroads for freight and logistics moving through the South West. Key routes include:

  • M5 corridor linking Birmingham to Bristol

  • A46 and A435 providing fast access to Evesham, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwickshire

  • A40/A417 connecting to Gloucester, the Cotswolds, and South Wales

This location makes it a strategic stopover for HGV drivers travelling between the Midlands and the South West — particularly for time-sensitive or hazardous loads requiring secure containment and reliable facilities.

Our proximity to Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, and Evesham also attracts local businesses needing flexible, well-managed space for vehicles, plant, or materials.

Part of a Complete Service Offering

As part of the William Gilder Group, our truckstop and storage facilities form one element of a wider integrated transport and environmental service network. The Group’s operations include:

  • Liquid waste tankering and treatment

  • Interceptor cleaning and maintenance

  • Highways and drainage services

  • Specialist vehicle hire, including shunting tugs and low loaders

This integration allows us to deliver comprehensive support for the transport and environmental sectors, helping clients streamline operations while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and environmental responsibility.

For example, tankering teams operating across Gloucestershire and the Midlands use our Teddington base for secure vehicle parking and maintenance before mobilising to customer sites. By combining operational support with driver amenities, WGG enhances both productivity and driver wellbeing.

Security First: Protecting Drivers, Vehicles, and Cargo

Our investment in security infrastructure reflects both regulatory expectations and driver demand. Each facility is equipped with:

  • ANPR-controlled entry points

  • High-definition CCTV with remote monitoring

  • Perimeter fencing and floodlighting

  • Emergency response systems linked to local services

Security is a shared responsibility in the haulage industry. By providing reliable truckstop facilities in Gloucestershire, WGG helps reduce the pressure on drivers who often have to make quick decisions about where to rest or park overnight.

This not only minimises risk but also contributes to better road safety, as drivers are more likely to rest properly when they feel their load is secure.

Convenience Beyond the Cab

We know that good facilities make a real difference on long journeys. That’s why our on-site amenities extend beyond basic services. Drivers can enjoy:

  • Access to the on-site café, serving hearty home-cooked meals

  • Nearby laundry and service facilities

  • Wi-Fi coverage across the site for route planning and communication

For fleet managers, the ability to combine driver comfort with secure operations translates directly into higher efficiency, lower downtime, and better staff retention.
