🚛 MEET THE TEAM – SARA! 💪

Meet Sara, our only female HGV driver 👏

With 9 years behind the wheel and 5 years with us, Sara knows a lot. She drives a Scania V8-580, with a pulling power of 44 tonnes! 🔥

One of Sara’s favourite things about the job is the variety of work and the opportunity to travel abroad. 🌍 She’s represented us on jobs across France, Denmark, Spain and Germany – racking up plenty of miles and experiences along the way!

When she’s not out on the road, Sara has a bit of a reputation for buying cars 🚗 and is currently busy renovating her house with her partner… who just so happens to work here too! 🏡

Thanks for all your hard work, Sara! We’re proud to have you on the team. 🙌

Meet Joel, one of our HGV Technicians! 🔧

Joel has been part of the team for 18 months and plays a huge part in keeping our workshop running smoothly, helping to ensure our fleet and our customers are safe, reliable and well maintained. 💪🚛

One of the things Joel enjoys most about his role is the variety it brings, working across different aspects of the HGV world. No two days are the same!

When he’s not busy in the workshop, Joel enjoys clay shooting, walking the dog 🐕 and spending quality time with his family. ❤️

🎡 A landmark project at the London Eye.

Back in March, we had the privilege of being involved in a major lifting operation at one of London’s most iconic landmarks.

After more than 25 years in service, two existing cranes were replaced with two new cranes in a project that required over a year of detailed planning, preparation and coordination.

The operation was successfully completed over five nights, allowing the London Eye to remain fully operational throughout the day. A complex, time-critical project that demanded precision, teamwork and expertise at every stage.

From crane hire and specialist haulage to our mechanics and the many hours of behind-the-scenes preparation, this was a true team effort. A huge thank you to our entire team for their expertise, hard work and commitment, both on-site and behind the scenes. Their dedication was instrumental in delivering this project safely and successfully.

We’re incredibly proud to have played our part in such a unique project and to have supported the continued operation of one of the UK’s most recognisable landmarks.

Another landmark project delivered through planning, teamwork and expertise. 💪
