THE MAGAZINE
On Scene is a quarterly title with accurate and well-informed articles supported by high-quality imagery, showcasing the vehicles and equipment that are core to heavy recovery operators’ fleets as well as the skills, knowledge and experience of the professionals that work long hours – often in the most difficult of circumstances – to provide a huge range of essential services to other road users and our wider society. These unsung heroes are the ‘go-to’ option when things go wrong, sorting others’ problems out 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
The website also showcases a brand new industry event taking place at Stoneleigh Park from 30 June to 2 July 2022. Road Transport Expo (RTX) is a new, truck-centric event being organised by Road Transport Media that is all about trucks and road transport – and includes a special area dedicated to vehicle recovery. The event, which is free to attend, will also feature a Waste and Recycling Zone, and a Convoy in the Park and Truck Racing Zone, as well as a Heavy Haulage Zone being organised by On Scene’s sister title HeavyTorque, and the Recovery Zone being organised by On Scene.

How refreshing to see a well written, unbiased magazine, that shows the recovery industry how it really is.
This has been a long time coming and hopefully it will stay independent, and away from some of the people, politics and propaganda that is published every month in other publications.
Long may it continue!
A brilliant magazine to freshen up industry relevant publications. Interesting reading from all angles with superb journalism, professional photography and production values. Many hours spent in a happy place. Keep up the good work.
