Former sales manager for Carlsberg, Tony took over the business with with his sons Harley and Jake in 2020 after the tragic death of former owner Keith 'Spudman' Roberts.Tony told the Post: “We have decided that we need another hot potato tram. The one in Preston is going to remain on the flag market and will continue to be called the Guild Tram but we are going to start doing a load of events and festivals so we decided that we need another one.
The public have sent in hundreds of suggestions for the new tram's name and the winner will be announced at the unveiling in June. Although Tony has said the winner has already been decided, we asked you for some more suggestions to see if the decision could be swayed.
