Hey Alan Slattery it has been a while since we last exchanged comments on the Blog.
To start the ball rolling consider this......I have come to believe that there are infinite passageways out of the shadows, infinite vehicles to transport us into the light......we just have to be allowed to find them.
What do you think?
We aim to deliver to our customers flexible and creative logistics solutions and to continuously improve our standards of service and professionalism.

IAN ATKINSON - GROUP FINANCE DIRECTOR
Here's something most of you didn't know..... our Group Finance Director, Ian Atkinson, recently completed a triathalon in Majorca. He did very well as far as times are concerned and looks as fit as he did before he went away!
Ian was also a keynote speaker at the recent Finance Directors Conference in Central London where I am led to believe he wowed the audience with a mixture of serious Finance Director things and a sharp out take of witty comments.
Here is Ian at his desk hard at work.....or so he says!

BRIT EUROPEAN CELEBRATES 90 YEARS IN LOGISTICS
It’s very rare in
the world of business and even more so in the world of transport and logistics
for a company to be able to celebrate its 90th birthday. Brit
European started life in the 1920’s, has been through a world war, seen entry into
the EEC, continued into a new millennium and seen the EEC develop into the EU
and as a business continues to develop for the future.
Started by Rod
Carman’s grandfather, William (Bill), it is a testament to the family that the company has
constantly evolved and changed to cope with the ever changing face of business
and has continued to re-invent itself time and time again to survive and grow. It
is fantastic to have third and fourth generation family members within the
business and also to have so many valued staff with many years of experience to
guide the newer ones away from the pitfalls of future decisions. Embracing
change is the pre-requisite to staying in business and the blend of new ideas
and energy coupled with years of experience is something we must safeguard and
nurture.
As a small token as
part of us ‘celebrating’ our birthday, we gave a limited edition lapel
badge to be worn or saved as a keepsake to all members of staff and valued customers.
MOTOR TRANSPORT AWARDS 2014
Brit European is in the running for one of the most prestigious awards in the Transport Industry! We are a finalist in the coveted Low Carbon and Efficiency Award along with Sainsbury's and Bullwell Trailer Solutions.
The presentation of the award will take place on Wednesday 2nd July 2014 at the Grosvenor Hotel, London. Watch this space next month when I will be revealing whether we won (which I know we will) or otherwise. There will be plenty of piccies to mark the event.

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SHOW 2014
The Commercial Vehicle Show 2014 came and went with a bang! Footfall (number of visitors for the uninitiated!) was up on 2013 by a whopping 17% and I would estimate that most of them visited the Brit European stand in Hall 4.
Here is all its glory is the 2014 stand. As with previous years it was one of the best on display and attracted a lot of praise from visitors and attendees alike. As with previous shows my thanks go to Richard Dutton for his help and expertise (and the Subway sandwiches!) in making our presence at the Show such a success. Below are some photos of Richard with his lovely assistant Alison. Also some more shots of the activity during the three days we were there.
