We have today attended a meeting of local business representatives at the Skipton Business Watch. Many of the Snaygill/Airedale Business Park Companies were represented. The objective of the scheme is to enable local business’s to pool resource together for the benefit of the business Community, in Particular Crime Prevention. This is something we as a company have long since placed a priority on and lets hope the scheme moves forward. As a local trader we shall contact many of the companies on the estate with a view to learning more about what we can do to help ourselves as a business community. Thanks to all those attending.

We have a winner for our i-pad competition. So many of the entrants confused the launch of APC with the launch of Euro-Tran Despatch. So to set the record straight.
Euro-Tran Despatch first launched in May 1987. Thats right – in May this year we celebrate 25 years in business.. APC was incorporated ‘Sept 93′ … first Director was named ‘Nov 93′ but the year we were looking for was when we formed to move the first parcels –
28th February 1994 – Thats right 18 years ago TODAY…..

Only 12 people from 7 different companies went into the hat with the correct answer.

The lucky winner was Charlotte Moran from R A Medical in Steeton. .
Congratulations to Charlotte, Our Ron Roberts will get the prize to you by the end of the week. A new competition will be launched in March.
Many thanks to all who entered

Following on from their success in the 2010 Triangle report APC have this year come out tops in 14 of the fifteen categories. A fantastic achievement. In the category we always fail to achieve on BRAND AWARENESS, We again figured mid table and unless we are in the position to maybe sponsor formula one, its highly likely we will continue to struggle in that category. Remarkably in the ‘Loyalty Index’ Which measures the carriers ability to retain business only three carriers achieved over 50% The average being 32.6%. APC ACHIEVED A MASSIVE 81.7% SOME 24% MORE THAN THEIR NEAREST RIVAL. We are thrilled with the results and thank all our customers for their support.

If you want to know more about the survey its available for – wait for it £24,300………Alternatively ask our Ron Roberts to show you the results.

On the face of it, Goods inadequately secured, Then the Carrier places a heavy box on top. A typical case of of how goods should not be despatched, nor how they should be handled – However in this case all is not what it seems. This is a piece of sculpture. The ancient marble quarries on the Greek island of Paros have since the times of Hector and Ullysses provided the basis of many fine works. This piece is part of an exhibition proving these ancient skills are not lost. Its all cut from Marble. Its so good that even the pallet feels like wood. Euro-Trans Dave and Chris Howson spotted the piece while staying at their holiday home on the island – ‘It just looked so apt’ Dave reported…….. What do you think ? This particular piece is by Andreas Lolis.
