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.

Winner of our i-pad competition

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

Price of Diesel hits record high

The average price of diesel in the Uk has overtaken the record set in May last year hitting 143.05p per litre. Since peaking at 143.04p on May 5 last year the pump price of diesel fell back to 137.59p in july before starting to climb again steadily.Two years ago diesel in the Uk cost 113.62p per litre, Petrol costs remain below last years prices.Uncertainty in the market has been blamed – Concerns over middle east supply. Brent crude has risen by $8 a barrel this month alone, this despite the International Energy Agencys forecast for lower Oil consumption requirements in 2012.

In fact they are in the top 200 fundraisers, (no176 this morning). Visit Jims facebook page and see if you can support him. Euro-Tran will donate a prize for the wackiest moustache, and bearing in mind this months prize on our website is a Kindle – we will now donate a second kindle to Geordie Jims campaign – Good Luck lads…..should be some good photos at the end of Movember…..On December the 5th a great night is planned at the Slaters Arms in Bradley when all the results of the lads efforts will be on show. There will be an auction of some 15 prizes donated by locals, and local businesses. A band and lots of banter mean a good night will be had by all.
