Does LinkedIn Work?

Picture

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.

You Snow it Makes sense

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!

  1. Get yourself some winter tyres. It doesn't cost you any more money in the long run. 
  2. 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:

  1. Slow the heck down. 
  2. Don't sit up the arse of the vehicle in front.

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!

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. The customer required our fibreglass floor protection boards  to move the racks and equipment out of the building to protect the marble floor. Equipment was relocated to another facility and re racked all within the day.

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.

We could have had our feet up, but instead one of us was collecting this fireplace in Germany today. 
Another very urgent "hot shot" collection and delivery of a luxury, bespoke fireplace in Germany today for one of us here at Secure Transportation.

Apparently the big boys of our industry don't work over Xmas. Luckily we are small enough to cope and small enough to care and are always on the other end of the telephone.

Nothing like kicking the week off with an IT relocation job. These images taken from today. Pick up a Juniper MX 960 in one of our custom made 24u shock mount flight case racks at our client's London office then over to Interxion DC off Brick Lane, East London and and re rack using some of our bespoke hydraulic lifting equipment.

Just a normal day at the office!

2016 IT Relocation Project

Picture
Hard to believe this IT relocation project was a year ago today. How time flies.

​After several months of planning we finally moved Juniper Networks demo lab from their Addlestone, Surrey office to their newly refurbished office at 38 Threadneedle Street in the heart of London's financial district. The project involved de racking numerous Juniper devices using our specialist Chassis Lift & Slide System - CLASS™ and securely packing in our range of bespoke flight cases ready for transport to London.

​
The day before the move was spent in the newly refurbished Addlestone office de racking everything, being especially careful not to scratch the walls!

​Here a couple of EX9200's racked up in one of our 24u shock mount flight cases.

*All equipment whether being installed or transported is covered under our bespoke marine cargo policy anywhere in Europe. We can quote without referral up to £0.5m.
Picture
​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!
Picture
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. It was a very long day but everything went to plan.
