Would a Local Delivery Service benefit you?

January 23rd, 2010

We are currently looking into introducing a local service aimed at providing a cost
effective, overnight service throughout the West/North Yorkshire areas. Perhaps
even including South Yorkshire. Would such a service benefit you ?

We would have a target of £3 up to 20 kilos, and look to provide the service over
the BD,LS,HX,HD,WF,HG,and possibly the YO/S postal codes. Such a service would
be more cost effective than using your own delivery vehicle. The service would of
course work within the current online booking procedures, and be trackable, POD’s
online, etc.

If you have any views on such a service, or can provide any feedback on other
services you feel we should offer, please let us know.

Good Credit Control is at the heart of every succesful business. Many business’s fail, not due to the product, not through lack of flair, the ingenuity or the efforts of their Directors – THEY SIMPLY RUN OUT OF MONEY.

With this in mind, and fully aware of the average debtor day experience of the transport industry , Euro-Tran have taken the Onstop Procedure on board. “Having an excellent relationship with almost all of our customers is fine” explains Helen Thornborrow, Accounts manager at the company, “Its still a bit of a cat and mouse game though when it comes to collecting the money in, and in the present economic environment things look set to get worse” She say’s.

Onstop has been developed to handle data sharing in a very sensitive manner, Creating responsible online credit communities. “We value our relationship with the customers, The two partners of Euro-Tran have built the business up over twenty years on a very personal basis, and are always available to clients”Helen tells us,”With this approach we retain business far better than the larger Parcel Carriers, I have been here for eleven years, Many customers dealt with Euro-Tran even before I arrived, but the business still relies on cash, Without it I am out of a job” Helen says. “Onstop is a simple web based procedure that suits some scenarios, Its cost effective and takes a good deal of pressure off my position” she concludes.

Safer Streets…..

November 6th, 2009

##***!.....

##***!.....

Its looking like the streets of Craven will be a much safer place to be shortly – Kazz leaves us today to take up a career in the Police force. Their gain is our loss and we will all be sorry to lose her. We wish her all the best for her new career ( and just hope she doesn’t get posted to traffic)

She has today been trying out her new outfit in the office, and will tonight will be subjected to a final overdose of alcohol on the streets of Skipton before taking up her new role… All the best Kazz.
We will all miss you…
