Investing in new equipment 
 
As part of our growth and development strategy, we are constantly investing in new equipment to both refresh and grow our fleet. We recently added 3 new vehicles to our fleet, increasing capacity for our customers as well as adding more modern, fuel-efficient vehicles to the fleet. 
 
The new vehicles arrived with driver comforts such as Sat-Nav, fridges, microwaves and tv connections, to ensure our drivers have all the necessary comforts whilst they work hard to deliver for our customers.
