CELEBS PICK UP ON LUXURY

Stars are shunning limos, sports cars and extravagant 4x4s in favour of pick-up trucks, according to a leading online auto accessories retailer.

Celebs like footballer David Beckham, country music megastar Taylor Swift and Twilight actress Kristen Stewart have all been seen with the iconic vehicles.

Proppa.com founder and managing director Adam Weaver said: “Pick-ups combine casual cool with luxury and practicality, therefore it’s no surprise that these personalities have discovered the joys of owning them.

“Modern trucks are a far cry from the utility vehicles beloved of farmers and tradesmen. As well as being versatile, some are incredibly stylish and comfortable, like the popular Nissan Navara.

“They are ideal for drivers with families, as well as outdoor enthusiasts and those who love sports like golf and cycling.

“And the wide range of accessories available allows extensive customisation to the motorist’s needs and taste.”

One of Proppa’s best sellers is its range of market-leading Sammitr SMM hard tops.

Sammitr is the only producer in the world which makes steel canopies for pick-up trucks. They are produced from metal sheet coated with a 0.8 mm thick, anti-rust treatment, and use a similar paint technology to that employed within the vehicle assembly industry. Like pick-up trucks themselves, the canopies are known for their strength, safety and elegance as well as their low weight, durability and environmental friendliness.

Proppa can provide these innovative and high-quality hard tops for a range of vehicle manufacturers including Ford, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Toyota. They are also available in a range of colours.

Adam added: “Pick-up trucks are evolving and entering the mainstream. We’ll see more and more hit the streets as people pick up on their style, utility and comfort.”

Launched in 2006 Proppa has grown to become the UK’s leading online vehicle accessories retailer.

At the age of just 26 Adam Weaver started the business as a one-man band operating from home. The business quickly grew and today he employs a 25-strong workforce which operates out of a 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Pershore, Worcestershire.
