Last job of the week for us and the second visit down to our clients clients' villa in the hills above Saint Tropez on the beautiful French Riviera. Could think of worst ways of spending a Sunday! Our Renault Trafic made the trip in one hit. 12 hour / 750 mile drive from Calais and my son has deserved a well earned beer and a swim in the hotel pool. Parked up now in Saint Maxime ready for the return trip.  For all your bespoke high value dedicated deliveries anywhere in Europe call us on 0208 432 2246.

Does LinkedIn Work?
Well it is a resounding yea for us at Secure Transportation Ltd.
Whilst some may feel LinkedIn is slowly becoming like Facebook with content that is more suited to friends and family, I still firmly believe it is a business tool to be reckoned with. Personally I have never got any new business from Facebook, Instagram or Twitter but having said that I have enjoyed the interaction nonetheless. If you can cut through the funny videos, memes and fake news and appreciate the many individuals and businesses selling their wares, then there is a wealth of information and professionals to connect with on LinkedIn. Don't ever feel ashamed plugging what you do. After all.................

Connection requests fired off with a little note attached and we now have a new customer with T&C's signed off and a £400 job already completed this week.

Stuff That Keeps us Going
With all this bad weather about it is hard to get away from all the social media posts and 24 hour news of what has been going on. It's starting to thaw out in London now so I thought I might add my two penn'orth in and share a couple of the most important things that keeps us going as a transport / logistics provider.
It's not rocket science!
If your vehicle can't move you can't make a delivery.
It's not rocket science!
- Get yourself some winter tyres. It doesn't cost you any more money in the long run.
- Invest in some snow chains. They are easy to put on once you have the knack.
If your vehicle can't move you can't make a delivery.
| Not convinced? Having driven all over Europe, across most mountain ranges and in all conditions I believe winter tyres and chains are a must to get you out of trouble and keep you moving. See the difference on this Auto Express comparison I have pulled from YouTube. Maybe some of the UK disruption wouldn't have been half as bad if people's vehicles had both of these. | |
Of course it doesn't matter what tyres you have because if you drive like an idiot they aren't probably going to make much of a difference any way.
So my next 2 top tips are:
Of course we all need to be conscientious, make a living and not let anyone down otherwise the country would grind to a halt, but needless to say if it is that bad and could be a danger to life and a non essential journey that could be done at a later date then keep off the road and don't add to the problems!
Sometimes though you do just get caught up in it and have to improvise and get on with it. The pictures below are from an IT transportation and installation job back in 2006 to Copenhagen Denmark when we weren't all like "snowflakes". Needless to say we had most of the right tools to get the job done!
So my next 2 top tips are:
- Slow the heck down.
- Don't sit up the arse of the vehicle in front.

Our new Renault Master tail lift arrived the other week fully kitted out and also equipped with VB adjustable air ride suspension, a further commitment to our IT relocation and installation services. Coupled with our range of bespoke shock mount rack flight cases this ensures our client's kit arrives as it should.
The last couple of weeks has seen us travel the length and breadth of the country plying our wares across several of our core business sectors. Interested? then take a peak below or contact us for a chat....

Dell EMC Disk Array De Rack and Relocation.
 | Another new client and another IT relocation. Working with our client's engineers we de racked the nodes, switches and DAE's and packed them in our bespoke flight cases.

Equipment was relocated to another facility and re racked all within the day. Check out these range of services via the unique URL www.relocate-IT.co.uk |
