The last 12 months have gone by in a flash, and here we are again at Christmas. As we do every year, we choose a few charities to donate to, as opposed to the age old industry tradition of client gifts which we stopped some fifteen plus years ago. Who needs that extra bottle of […]

While international transport seems to be hitting the media, and appear to be organised fairly well through official charities, how are the donations getting to the correct distribution hubs in the UK? During March, Simon Morley, managing director of our sister company […]
The recent treatment of employees by P&O Ferries is, from our perspective, nothing short of despicable. Their website champions ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’, and purports to ‘inspire our people…’ inferring an ethos of ‘investing in people’. Whilst they may have valid financial reasons to support their actions, how they have handled this leaves a lot to […]
