Rab Garriock, Carter Thermal Industries' fleet operations manager, added: “Both Carter Thermal Industries and Zenith are delighted to donate the van to support Corby Foodbank.

A Corby Foodbank spokesman said they also wanted to thank local vehicle graphics design company, Corby Graphix, who donated their services and produced a professional looking vehicle.
