News July 2006

Welcome to this edition of drivel from Sunny Stronend Street, in what has probably been the best spell of weather I can remember in almost 30 years here. (You will guess that it is Doreen here.) Colin has gone off on his motorbike today to Orkney and if any of our friends in that area would like to see him, give me a ring as I am in charge (as long as Corinne is out).

Colin and I were kindly invited to Mitchells of Grangemouth 50th Anniversary Ball in June and had a great time. We are sure they will have at least another 50 as they have the next generation all ready.

Thanks again for all the genuine good wishes we have had for our new grandson, I am thrilled to bits with him and am all prepared to teach him to swim – which is the only thing I can do. I have his arm bands, trainer seat and we are all set to go.

Our employee of the month for June was someone who has been exceptional over the last month, with holidays, and sickness and has coped without complaint. She also does as you ask her straight away, first time. As you know, we do not normally regard this as an office award unless circumstances are exceptional, so this month our award (to her eternal embarrassment) went to Marion Robertson in Accounts. Thanks to Marion for the extra effort and well done.

Our new Graffix Detail computer and printer should be with us soon and will cut down time as everything will be done on site. Livery is becoming much higher profile in the market place and this month they have been very busy. Now is the time to personalise all your transport. Should you cars and vans be running about unmarked? They are costing you a lot of money - should they not be an advert for your company? I have often wondered about sign writing roofs of our cars so that Truck drivers would see our ad. What do you think?

Grahams and Coachworks have both been very busy this month, but since you are probably having holiday problems just now, why not use the time to get the bump sorted or the paint touched up.
This has not been our best month for health, as Donna has been pretty sick, Lennie Corrigan who had a long holiday has been down with something resembling Malaria and the “Young man” (His words not mine) Allan Hendry, who runs the Trailer Shop has been having his Cataract removed and was forced to take some time off. Fortunately all three are back now.

Remember though if you are in having a running repair done we can probably fit in some of the other small things you have been putting off at the same time.
What ever you need for your fleet – YOU NEED US. (Hopefully.)

Have a great holiday if you are away this month

YOUR 1 STOP, TRUCKING SHOP

Regards

Doreen
