In times of uncertainty – why take risks?

Let’s face it, we’re facing times of uncertainty, perhaps more so than any other in recent history. What with shock referendum and presidential election results, a new prime minister, earthquakes and currency crashes, is there anything we can be sure of any more?

Let’s take a breath. So, we’re not exactly sure how business will fare in the coming months as we get closer to the reality of Brexit. Caution may well spread throughout commerce and industry, which means we should all do what we can to be prepared.

One way is to take a look at overheads. Right now, we’re providing permanent driver cover on a part-time and full-time basis, for some of our customers. It saves them the cost of employing a driver (pensions auto enrolment, holiday pay, sick pay etc.) and they don’t need to buy or hire a van – happy days.

What they do get is a dedicated driver in a modern, clean, well maintained van, adorned in their company livery with a uniformed driver that acts as an extension to their business. Should they take holiday or be absent, we allocate a replacement driver without a hitch. Should the vehicle go off the road, we’ll have a replacement waiting in the wings.

And the beauty is, our customers only pay for the service when it’s being used, so it’s flexible according to their busy and quiet times. There are no wasted resources and customers enjoy complete control over their delivery costs.

All our drivers are trained and CRB checked, our vehicles are tracked and we have mobile contact with our drivers, so you have peace of mind.
