AN EXCEPTIONAL MEMBER OF STAFF
Below is a copy of an email sent to Brit European by one of our customers regarding a member of our staff.
I am sending this email to tell how exceptional one of your staff is. His name is Paul Melia (pictured below). We have been using Brit European for the movement of our trucks, for about three years now. We did use to use two different companies, but I now give all my work to you, and this is directly because of Paul.
He has never once dropped the ball. This is exceptional in itself but he always goes the extra mile. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable, reliable and flexible, and to us invaluable. We are an extremely busy dealership and have moved nearly 300 units in the first 5 months of this year, Brit European have moved almost 100 of them. I know that if I ask for a job to be done, I can relax, knowing that Paul will take care of the delivery for me. For a dealership, as busy as ours, that makes Paul a godsend.
Please let Paul know what a great job he does, I do tell him, but he’s very modest and says it’s all in a day’s work.
BRIT EUROPEAN HIGHLY COMMENDED
Brit European Transport has been highly commended by the FTA for their work in the field of carbon reductions in logistics. Below is a excerpt from the Awards Ceremony held recently by the FTA.
'Brit European has utilised dual fuel hgv's for its fleet that transports construction equipment. Due to the company operating unusual equipment with a very low fifth wheel height, this led to the redesign of the vehicle to reallocate the diesel and AdBlue tanks and accommodate the gas conversion. Additionally, a unique portable gas refuelling facility was also implemented.'
Andy Evans, Fleet Optimisation Manager, is seen below collecting the Award on behalf of Brit European.

BRIT EUROPEAN BASEBALL CAP ON TOUR
Andrew Shore, he of accounts fame, recently went on a cruise of the Mediterranean and as expected he took with him his treasured Brit European Baseball Cap. Andrew has very kindly sent me a few of the selfies he took and with his permission I have reproduced them here for you all to gawk over! Does he not look like James Bond or what????

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SHOW 2015
Another famous celebrity meets with Tony Phillips and Paul Bowker at the CV Show 2015. Bryan Robson, ex Manchester United and England stalwart.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SHOW 2015
The organisers of the CV Show 2015 are hailing it as one of the best ever it terms of visitor numbers. Although the number of exhibitors was lower than 2014, notable non-attendees being MAN, Scania and Volvo, the Show is being described as a resounding success. With the numbers of Commercial Vehicle registrations at an all time high so far this year the Show was the ideal platform for Brit European.
Below are more images from the show. We even had a very famous celebrity visit us - the very beautiful Rachael Riley from Countdown and Strictly Come Dancing - who joined us for a coffee and a chat.
