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.

BRIT EUROPEAN ASSISTS TRITON HOCKEY CLUB!

Brit European (well Andy Brookes actually!) was approached recently by Alsager based Triton Hockey Club to see if we could assist in getting some new dug outs delivered to Tritons home ground in Alsager. The rescue plan was sprung into action and Andy Evans, Fleet Optimisation Manager for Brit European donated his time and experience by becoming a driver for the day to drive the truck and deliver the dug outs.

Pictured are Steve Wade (on the left) of Triton Hockey Club and Andy Evans of Brit European. 

HERCULES MK2 - VERSATILITY AT ITS BEST

GLOBETROTTING FOR BRIT EUROPEAN!!!!

Our Managing Director, Graham Lackey. is having quite a busy year! Not only on a business front but also on a personal front. Let me deal with the business front first.

As you are probably aware Graham has been heavily involved in promoting the Dual Fuel concept for our distribution fleet. He has been a keynote speaker at a number of events over the past couple of months and is in fact speaking at a few more during the next few months. What is striking though is the amount of miles Graham will be travelling before the end of the year. So to give you some idea of how far he travels on behalf of Brit European here is Graham's travel itinerary for the next 2 months:

Belgium
China
Belgium
Netherlands
Hungary
Netherlands
Belgium

Then to top off all of this travelling in December he is getting married to the very lovely Hayley and will be jetting off to another far and distant country for his honeymoon! Phew!!!
