At the Evans Transport Group, our drivers and vehicles are usually seen delivering materials to building sites and moving freight across the UK network. However, every now and then, one of our units is called upon for a slightly more high-profile job!
This summer, a Seymour Transport HGV swapped its standard haulage route for a day of celebration, serving as the official float platform for the Leysdown Carnival 2026.
A Special Guest on Board: Danny Dyer Joins the Float
Decorated around the theme “Kings, Queens & Icons of Leysdown,” our Seymour trailer became a major focal point of the parade. But the highlight of the day came when TV personality and British icon Danny Dyer stepped on board to join the float!
Thousands of spectators lined the streets as the rig rolled through Leysdown, creating an electric atmosphere full of music, applause, and community spirit.
