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................. 'Building connections starts with people seeing all you have to offer' - LinkedIn So this week an email dropped in to my Outlook inbox with a few names on cc. A little digging around on LinkedIn and I found some of those names were already acquaintances / work colleagues of existing connections. 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. From Little Acorns Do Mighty Oaks Grow Thanks to all our customers old and new that have made us what we are today.

Stuff That Keeps us GoingWith 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.
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!  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.

Corporate Events and ExhiitionsEach month we are delivering our client's Pro AV kit up and down the country and further afield and providing logistical support for conferences and exhibitions.
Check out more of these services we provide via the unique URL www.event-profs.co.uk Picture This!Our last job of the week was the delivery of a 100 piece art work collection from a Cardiff Gallery for export via our case packers. Not a Van Gogh but nonetheless required some TLC and careful transportation. For this we used some of our plastic folding pallet crates and plenty of foam. A great solution for this job to keep them all safe and in perfect condition whilst in the back of the van from A to B.

 Bishopsgate and Threadneedle Street London are logistically challenging, one with no legal parking and the other on a red route. Not for the faint hearted and only to be attempted on a weekend. The weather was on our side too as van loads of equipment were lined along the side of the road waiting to be moved in through the front entrance. The showcase lab with customised racks and blue mood up-lighting can be seen through a viewing window by guests from the comfort of the office whilst relaxing having a coffee. My photo doesn't do it justice, it needs to be seen in person!  Special thanks to everyone in our team and also Martin Matthews, Trevor Edwards and George White from Juniper for their help in getting everything racked up.
